CAPO 2

A5            F5               C5       G5
It's these substandard motels on the (lalalalala)
A5        F5       C5       E5
corner of 4th and Fremont Street.
A5        F5                     C5         G5
Appealing only because they are just that unappealing,
E5                                                      A5
Any practiced catholic would cross themselves upon entering.
A5        F5                C5          G5 
The rooms have a hint of asbestos and maybe
A5     F5       C5       E5
just a dash of formaldehyde,
A5      F5             C5      G5
And the habit of decomposing right before your
A5    F5        C5    E5
very (lalalala) eyes.

CHORUS:
E5                     A5
Along with the people inside
F5      C5        G5   A5      F5  E5
What a wonderful caricature of intimacy
A5     F5        C5        G5   A5       F5  C5     E5
Inside,  what a wonderful  caricature of intimacy

E5                             D5
Tonight tenants range from: a lawyer and a virgin
       A5                   C5
Accessorizing with a rosary tucked inside her lingerie
      A5                   F5
She's getting a job at the firm come Monday.
    C5                       G5
The Mrs. will stay with the cheating attorney
    A5                  F5
moonlighting aside, she really needs his money.
    C5                       E5
Oh, wonderful caricature of intimacy.

E5
Yeah (Yeah)

A5         F5                         C5          G5                A5
And not to mention, the constable, and his proposition, for that virgin
         F5                        C5
Yes, the one the lawyer met with on strictly business
E5                 A5
as he said to the Mrs. Well, only hours before,
F5              C5                      G5            A5
after he had left, she was fixing her face in a compact
            D5       E5
There was a terrible crash (there was a terrible crash)
A5                  F5
Between her and the badge
                              C5               G5                    E5
She spilled her purse and her bag, and held a purse of a different kind.

CHORUS:
E5                       A5
Along with the people inside
       F5           C5           G5
What a wonderful caricature of intimacy
A5             F5           C5           E5 
Inside, what a wonderful caricature of intimacy

BRIDGE:
E5            A5           F5                        C5
There are no raindrops on roses and girls in white dresses.
                   G5                       A5
It's sleeping with roaches and taking best guesses
       A5                        F5
At the shade of the sheets and before all the stains,
C5                      E5
And a few more of your least favorite things.

A5           F5                        C5
Raindrops on roses and girls in white dresses
                   G5                       A5
It's sleeping with roaches and taking best guesses
       A5                        F5
At the shade of the sheets and before all the stains,
C5                      E5
And a few more of your least favorite things. (slow down tempo)

  A5           F5           C5           G5
Inside, what a wonderful caricature of intimacy
  A5           F5           C5           E5
Inside, what a wonderful caricature of intimacy
