CAPO 2

Am            F               C       G
It's these substandard motels on the (lalalalala)
Am        F       C       E
corner of 4th and Fremont Street.
Am        F                     C         G
Appealing only because they are just that unappealing,
E                                                      Am
Any practiced catholic would cross themselves upon entering.
Am        F                C          G 
The rooms have a hint of asbestos and maybe
Am     F       C       E
just a dash of formaldehyde,
Am      F             C      G
And the habit of decomposing right before your
Am    F        C    E
very (lalalala) eyes.

CHORUS:
E                     Am
Along with the people inside
F      C        G   Am      F  E
What a wonderful caricature of intimacy
Am     F        C        G   Am       F  C     E
Inside,  what a wonderful  caricature of intimacy

E                             Dm
Tonight tenants range from: a lawyer and a virgin
       Am                   C
Accessorizing with a rosary tucked inside her lingerie
      Am                   F
She's getting a job at the firm come Monday.
    C                       G
The Mrs. will stay with the cheating attorney
    Am                  F
moonlighting aside, she really needs his money.
    C                       E
Oh, wonderful caricature of intimacy.

E
Yeah (Yeah)

Am         F                         C          G                Am
And not to mention, the constable, and his proposition, for that virgin
         F                        C
Yes, the one the lawyer met with on strictly business
E                 Am
as he said to the Mrs. Well, only hours before,
F              C                      G            Am
after he had left, she was fixing her face in a compact
            Dm       E
There was a terrible crash (there was a terrible crash)
Am                  F
Between her and the badge
                              C               G                    E
She spilled her purse and her bag, and held a purse of a different kind.

CHORUS:
E                       Am
Along with the people inside
       F           C           G
What a wonderful caricature of intimacy
Am             F           C           E 
Inside, what a wonderful caricature of intimacy

BRIDGE:
E            Am           F                        C
There are no raindrops on roses and girls in white dresses.
                   G                       Am
It's sleeping with roaches and taking best guesses
       Am                        F
At the shade of the sheets and before all the stains,
C                      E
And a few more of your least favorite things.

Am           F                        C
Raindrops on roses and girls in white dresses
                   G                       Am
It's sleeping with roaches and taking best guesses
       Am                        F
At the shade of the sheets and before all the stains,
C                      E
And a few more of your least favorite things. (slow down tempo)

  Am           F           C           G
Inside, what a wonderful caricature of intimacy
  Am           F           C           E
Inside, what a wonderful caricature of intimacy
