Intro : C  G  D  F  G  [X2]

  C          G         D            F            G
I was in the honeymoon suite at the Canmore Hotel. 
  C           G              D             F         G
I was drunk, I was dying of lonliness and looking like hell 
  C                G            D          F             G
(it was seventeen years to the day since you'd turned me down). 
   C            G                 D           F        G 
The locals were brawling, and the bar was emptying out. 




Bridge: (Just like intro)  C   G   D   F   G [x1]



  C              G              D               F           G
Did you get all those letters I sent? Are you thinking of me? 
           C              G            D                F            G
Or did you hide them in drawers? Under cushions? In pockets? Up sleeves? 
       C       G           D          F        G
The heater is broken, but at least I've got a TV. 



Bridge: (Just like the last one)   C   G   D   F   G  [x1]



   C          G          D               F              G
Imagine we'd run away together and we'd made it this far. 
   C          G               D               F            G
We'd get married for ninety-two dollars in Riverside Park. 
    C             G                 D            F           G
The three sisters would cry, and tie cans to the back of my car. 
    C             G            D            F            G
And I'd be in the honeymoon suite and not back in the bar. 



Bridge:(Like always)  C      G      D       F      G  [x1]


         C            G          D               F           G  
The next morning the weather was perfect, so I went for a drive 
           C                 G             D                F            G
through the mountains and past little homes with little kids playing outside. 
     C           G             D           F            G   
A wife, and a husband - a life that should have been mine.


Thanks!
