1.    One night in a motel room,

C            G             F

    eyes cast like steel,

C                     G                    F

    I drank the wine that they left on my table,

          C                         G         F

    I knew the morning was too far.

 

     C        G             F

2.      I smoked my last cigarette,

C                     G     F

    stayed only to defy.

C                          G                  F

    The night was dark and the land was cold.

             - C             G                 F

    I was       frozen right to the bone.

Just like fire would, I burn      just like fire would,

 F           G     C                     F

just like fire would, I burned up.

3.     Five hundred miles I've gone today,

C                            G                    F

    and tomorrow's five hundred more.

C                      G                 F

    Outside my window the world passes by,

         - C                  G         F

    it's       stranger than a dream.

4.     I go to work and I earn my pay load,

C                   G                 F

    my sweat falls to the ground.

C                   G                        F

    I see you now but we may never meet again, child,

           C                    G          F

    the ice is hanging on the door.
