1. Well, there's too many windows in this old hotel

              F                       Dm                  - C

    and rooms filled with reckless pride.

                    F                          Dm                  C 

    And the walls have grown sturdy and the halls have worn well,

                         D                     F        D                     F

    but there is nobody living inside, nobody living inside.

      F              Dm               C

    roll up the carpets and pull in the blinds.

    And retreat to the chambers that I left behind,

                              D                                F

    in hopes there still may be love left to find,

       D                                F

    still may be love left to find.

    now your soul is in trouble and requires repairs,

                   F                Dm            C

    and the voices you hear at the top of the stairs,

    echoes of unanswered prayers.
