Behind the stairs and the Coke machine

Down in the corner, sight unseen 
       F       C 
In the cheap motel

Its concrete walls, concrete walks

Concrete halls and concrete blocks

In the cheap motel

Watching the faces, counting the cars

In the cheap motel 


                  F 
Works by herself, likes it alone 
C                         G 
Eyes looking through you, harder than stone 
       F       C 
In the cheap motel

All the lonely hearts on the highway home

The ice machine, she's broken down 
          C                     G 
And we're stuck out here on the edge of town 
       F       C 
In the cheap motel

It's checkout time and they're on their way

And we're still here for another day

Got a sister that works in Hollywood 
        F       C 
Not the cheap motel

The window's barred and the doors are locked 
C                      G 
Time stands still on a broken clock 
       F       C 
In the cheap motel
