[verse 1]
Em G
It's a cheap hotel, the heat pipes hiss
D Em
The bathroom's down the hall, and it smells like piss
Em G
It's another night in another town
D Em
And I'm another blues traveler headed down
[chorus]
Em G
Falling out of love is a dangerous thing
D Em
With its slippery slopes and its weighted wings
Em G
With its birds of prey circling overhead
D Em
Casting vulture shadows on barren beds
[bridge]
A Em
Let me out, set me free
A Em
Let me out, set me free
[solo]
Em G D Em
[verse 2]
Em G
The clock inside the church bell tower
D Em
Rings your name every hour
Em G
I see your face, I touch your hair
D Em
Then the ringing fades and nobody's there
[chorus]
Em G
Falling out of love is a treacherous thing
D Em
With its crucible kiss and its ravaged ring
Em G
With its holy whispers and labyrinth lies
D Em
Sacriligious hungry sighs
[bridge]
A Em
Let me out, set me free
A Em
Let me out, set me free
[solo]
Em G D Em
[verse 3]
Em G
I walk the streets, and I taste the dirt
D Em
I am flesh and blood, and my body hurts
Em G
I search your silence looking for a crack
D Em
For a passageway where I can pull you back
[chorus]
Em G
Falling out of love is a tedious thing
D Em
With its jailhouse smirk and its chain gang swing
G
Its time to serve and its sentence set
D Em
With its warm blood and cold sweat
[bridge]
A Em
Let me out, set me free
A Em
Let me out, set me free
