Hotel Hobbies Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Gm]
[C][Gm]

[Verse 1]
[Gm]Hotel hobbies padding
dawns hollow corridors
[F]Bell [Gm]boys checking out the
[C]hookers [Gm]in the bar
Slug- like fingers trace the star- spangled
clouds of cocaine on [C]the mirror
[Gm]The short straw took its bow
[F][Gm]

[Verse 2]
[C][Gm]
The tell tale tocking of
the last cigarette
Marking time in the packet
as the [C]whiskey sweat
[Gm]Lies like discarded armor
on an unmade bed
And a familiar craving [C]is [Gm]crawling in
[F]his head

[Interlude 1]
[G][F]
[G][D][G][D][G][C]

[Verse 3]
And the [G]only sign of life is the
ticking of the pen
[F]Introducing characters to memories
like old [Gm]friends
Frantic [D]as a cardio
[G]graph scratching out the lines
A [C]fever of confession a catalog of
crime in [G]happy hour
Do you cry in happy [F]hour,
do [Gm]you hide in h[G]appy h[D]our,[G]
The pilgrim[D]age to [C]happy hour

[Interlude 2]
[C][G][Am][G][Em][G][Am]
[G][Em][F]
[G][F][G][Gm]
[Am][G]
[F][G][F][G]
[Am][Em][G][D]
[F][G][F]
[Am]

[Verse 4]
New shadows [Em]tugging at
the corner of his [G]eye
Jostling for at[D]tention as the sun
[F]light flares
Through a curtains tear, shuffling its beams
As if in nervous anti[Em]cipation of another day
