[Verse 1]
G#m
5:04 no morning's broken
F# C#
The minibar is always open
G#m
She lays her head and waits for dreams
F# C#
These sheets are clean, these sheets are clean
G#m
The TV's flickering red and blue
F# C#
A voice suggests what she could do
G#m
Against the signs of getting old
F# C#
She grabs the remote control
[Chorus]
B
And she tries to tell the nights apart
F#
By the state of the heart and the shape of the moon
G#m E
A hotel room is a hotel room is a hotel room
[Verse 2]
G#m
362 do not disturb
F# C#
If no one knows, no one gets hurt
G#m
He turns off his mobile phone
F# C#
He's never been this far from home
G#m
A stranger's skin and unknown scent
F# C#
He wonders where his conscience went
G#m
The stranger smiles and blows a kiss
F# C#
Wake-up call, quarter to six
[Chorus]
B
And she tries to tell the nights apart
F#
By the state of the heart and the shape of the moon
G#m E
A hotel room is a hotel room is a hotel room
B
Yeah, they try to tell the nights apart
F#
By the state of the heart and the shape of the moon
G#m E
A hotel room is a hotel room is a hotel room
[Bridge]
C#m
Pale light in the corridors
G#m F#
Short stories on every floor
C#m
Checking in and checking out
G#m F#
Nothing to write home about
C#m
It's just a stop along the way
G#m F#
Just a temporary place
C#m
For nameless neighbours in the dark
G#m F#
Wall to wall but worlds apart
[Outro]
C#m
I got 101, my lucky number
G#m F#
Windows open, wind of summer
C#m G#m F#
(A hotel room is a hotel room is a hotel room)
C#m
And I hang my dress and turn the lights out
G#m F#
It's probably too late to call now
C#m G#m F#
(A hotel room is a hotel room is a hotel room)
