[Verse 1]
C                F                 G                Am
Misses Smith and Mister Jones have come to pass the night
     F                 Em           Dm          G        Dm  G
They pulled off of the highway when they saw my light
       C          F               G          Am
It's a vacancy I offer them; what they offer me
   F              Em              Dm          G     Bb  Dm7  G
Is fullness for a lifetime that's bare as can be
 
[Chorus]
          C    Em            F       G
There's a vacancy, won't you come to me
    Am       Am/G   Fmaj7
And fill my empty spaces
      C     Em       F        G
I'm a motel man in a promised land
        Am          Am/G  Fmaj7
That's filled with empty faces
         C           Em       F          G
Won't you bring your sorrows, bring your dreams
       Am        Am/G   D
It's a place for you to be
        Am        Em          F
There's no more tomorrow, or that's how it seems
             Am       D  F          G     C    F  G  F  C  F
So won't you come to me? I've got a vacancy
 
[Verse 2]
   C            F           G             Am
Another name, another key, another pass to glory
   F               Em            Dm           G      Dm  G
Another night, another sight, another bedtime story
   C            F                 G             Am
Another stage, another chance for gentleness or violence
   F             Em            Dm              G          Bb  Dm7  G
Another birth, another dance, another death in silence
 
[Chorus]
G          C   Em             F      G
There's a vacancy, won't you come to me
    Am      Am/G   Fmaj7
And fill my empty spaces
     C      Em       F        G
I'm a motel man in a promised land
       Am          Am/G  Fmaj7
That's filled with empty faces
          C          Em       F          G
Won't you bring your sorrows, bring your dreams
       Am        Am/G   D
It's a place for you to be
       Am          Em        F
There's no more tomorrow, or that's how it seems
             Am       D    F        G        C  F  G F
So won't you come to me? I've got a vacancy
 
[Verse 3]
C
Mr. John is coming on with his liaison
Dm
Mr. Soft is coming off and soon he'll be gone
Em
Mrs. Hart has come apart now that she's alone
F                            G
Mr. Jive has come alive, but nobody's home
 
[Bridge]
   C            F           G             Am
Mornings come checkout time with my pail and broom
   F               Em            Dm           G          Dm  G
I find what they've left being in every telltale room
    C                 F              G              Am
The sheets show their struggles, the glasses their fears
    F            Em                Dm           G       Bb  Dm7  G
The ashtrays the hours passed, the towels their tears
 
[Chorus]
          C   Em              F      G
There's a vacancy, won't you come to me
    Am      Am/G   Fmaj7
And fill my empty spaces
     C      Em       F        G
I'm a motel man in a promised land
       Am          Am/G  Fmaj7
That's filled with empty faces
          C          Em       F          G
Won't you bring your sorrows, bring your dreams
       Am        Am/G   D
It's a place for you to be
       Am          Em        F
There's no more tomorrow, or that's how it seems
             Am       D    F       G   C
So won't you come to me? I've got a vacancy
