Lori McKenna - Numbered Doors
CAPO: 1st Fret
[Intro]
C G Em D C G Em D
[Verse 1]
C G Em D
She wore a borrowed dress nobody wanted back
C G Em D
She looked pretty as a picture in a magazine ad
C G Em D
Her daddy walked her down the isle and then that was that
C
No going back now
[Verse 2]
C G Em D
They said they’d keep on driving till they smelled the ocean
C G Em D
His arm so proud around her, the windows open
C G Em D
And all she wanted was to keep on going
C
Just keep on going
[Chorus]
Em
Numbered doors, cheap champagne
D Em
Run out of time before they kill the pain
C Em
Maybe you’ll find what you’re searching for
D Em D
Somewhere tonight behind numbered doors
[Verse 3]
C G Em D
She took the only waitress job that she could find
C G Em D
Well, a town like this don’t have a Five and Dime
C G Em D
The summer’s too hot, the winter’s too cold
C
You can buy your Jesus or sell your soul
[Chorus]
Em
Numbered doors, misspelled names
D Em
It won’t hurt no more, so let it hit the vein
C Em
You can’t give away what ain’t really yours
D C
But how she tries behind numbered doors
[Instrumental]
D C D G D C D Em C
[Verse 4]
C G Em D
They didn’t find her there until the next afternoon
C G Em D
Housekeeping came in to clean the room
C G Em D
Seemed like it happened in a strangely peaceful way
C
Sometimes there ain’t no reason why something breaks
[Outro]
C G Em D
She wore a borrowed dress nobody wanted back
C G Em D
Her daddy walked her down the isle and that was that
