G C
Every time I see You walking My way, I just hide
G C
'Cause I don't really feel like talking about old times
Am C
Although I still remember it well,
Am C
The night that We burned Our last bridge
G ..
In that Cincinnati motel

Now I don't claim to know much more about this than You
G C
But I know when the deal came down You just did not come through
Am C
You left Me lying cold, alone in My cell
Am C
While You had the time of Your life
Em D
In that Cincinnati motel
C
Days of grace haunting Your every move
Em
You're too high to see
D Am
And You're too cold to feel Me
| C | C | D | D ..
.. G C
Well it started out simple and easy like all good things will
G C
But You turned into someone I can't recognize even now
Am C
You hated when I won but You laughed when I fell
Am C
And stumbled back in through the door
G
Of that Cincinnati motel
G C
Well it's hard to say how or why You've turned out this way
G C
And I can't reconcile any debts that You've come to repay
Am C
Oh 'cause I can't forget the lies that You tried to tell
Am C
The night that We said our goodbyes
Em
In that Cincinnati motel
D C
Oh.... days of grace haunting Your every move
Em
You're too high to see
D Am
And too cold to feel Me
C
Oh... fade away diamond time
Em
Leave Me here, You're too fine to breathe
D Am
And You're so hard to believe
| C | C | D | D ..
.. G C
So don't expect Me to be forgiven 'Cause it's too late for that
G C
And it's hard enough to just keep living without feeling this trapped
Am C
Well the truth in Our lives, yeah We lost sight of that
Am C
It's rolling in the dust somewhere down the track
Am C
We both wrote the songs and We loved them so well
Am C ..
We let 'em slip right through our hands
