Capo 3
 
Intro:
D  D/C#  D/B  D/C#

       D                            D/C#
A Best Western in West Texas left a letter in the new Testament
   D/B                                 A
If I could find forgiveness that's the one that you suggest I try
G                              G/F#
I cant be specific or name the chapter where I hid it
       Em                        Asus4         A                   D     D/C#  D/B  Asus4 A
If I'm anything I am a cynic and hopefully the man up stairs won't mind


Chorus 1: 
    G                       G/F#              Em                            G/F#
The only that's harder than sleeping alone is pouring out my heart on hotel paper by the phone
   G                             G/F#
Is choking down this whiskey til it don't burn my throat
   Em                                 G/F#          G
Is knowing that you will never read a single word I wrote 
              D    D/C#  D/B  D/C#
and sleeping alone


In a Motel 6 in New Mexico I left the last photograph of you I owned 
In the hopes that I could make it right next to Saint Luke 6 verse 35
All the time that I spent with it in every dive I've come to live in
I don't know if I will ever see the light oh but I'll try


Chorus 2:
The only that's harder than sleeping alone is pooring out my heart on Hotel paper by the phone
Is choking down this whiskey til it don't burn my throat
Is knowing that you'll never, won't ever let me go
And sleeping alone

Sleeping alone

Sleeping alone
