"Cheap Motel"
Written by: Michael Reynolds

Capo 1
(A) A stark naked (E) light bulb in a (D) room with no view

This (A) coffee tastes (E) bitter this (D) whiskey tastes new

I (A) lied when I (E) told you that my (D) dreams all came true

Chorus:

And it's a (A) helluva a (E) ride

Leaves me (A) empty (D) inside

And livin'(A) in (E) cheap motel (A) rooms


Another big city one more face with no name
And it's miles to the edge of the bed where I lay
The cracks in the ceiling spell out all my shame

Chorus

Bridge
Oh I (E) sit here and count every (D) mile that I've (A) crawled

And every (E) mistake that I've (D) made

While the (A) flowers (E) fade off the (D) wall

But how do I start to stop a wheel that's on fire
When I can't even tell from the words of a liar
I'm tryin' to come down but I keep gettin' higher

Chorus x 2
