**I think the book uses the simple G form instead of [320033] because it sounds
better (and not for beginners), because it uses [320033] in other songs.
Intro:
D -- D G(9) C G(9) D G(9) C G(9)
Verse 1 & 2:
(9)
I write mostly on hotel paper
(9)
Knowing that my thoughts will never leave this room
(9)
I'd be out of line telling you, "leave her"
(9)
So I lie lonely surrounded by you
(9)
...by you, oh
(9)
Lately, I can't be happy for no one
(9)
They think I need time to myself
(9)
I'd try to smile but I can't remember
(9)
I know tomorrow there'll be nothing else, oh
Chorus:
And I, I wanted to be
giving you e-very-thing that she's not giving
And I, I wanted to see
'cause I didn't believe what I'd been hearin'
(9)
-Verse 3- (just like verse 2)
You turned out to be more than I bargained for,
And I can tell that you need to get away.
Forgive me if I admit that I'd love to love you;
We both realized it way too late
Chorus:
And I, I wanted to be
giving you e-very-thing that she's not giving
And I, I wanted to see
'cause I didn't believe what I'd been hearin'
*
Maybe this wind blowin' in just came from the ocean.
(9)
I write mostly on hotel paper
(end on )
