"Room 8", the invite says,
 D                      A
"Come and surprise your oldest friend."
     D             G
The door's ajar, what's behind,
        D       A       D
In room 8, room 8, room 8?

 D                  D
Cards are found in boxes there,
 D                    A
Welcome me in to the earthly air.
   D               G
A baby girl named Jennifer,
      D          A            D
Born here, born here, in room 8.

Solo:

 D                 D
Lock the car, tremble and shake,
 D                  A
Baby, the call was just a fake.
      D                G
But there she is, spotted through rain,
       D         A          D
"Jennifer", she calls your name.

D            D
On the bed, hip displaced,
  D                A
Broken nose and a toothless face.
      D            G
But she's alive, she's awake,
        D       A       D
In room 8, room 8, room 8.


And she whispers,
 G                   F#
We're still working full-time for love--
Bm          Bm/A           G
  Underpaid,    overworked,  uninsured. 
 G                 F#
We'll work gladly with our hands,
       D   D/C#      Bm   Bm/A
We'll take off our gloves,
          G                A
'til it's only love, 'til love remains, 
        D       A       D
In room 8, room 8, room 8.

      D               D
I've never felt this pain before,
 D                A
Doubled over the motel floor.
    D             G
The ambulance it pulls away,
           D        A     D
With only tears as my alibi.

    G                  F#
But I'm still workin' full-time for love--
Bm        Bm/A               G
   9 to 5,     weekends, and,  holidays.
 G                     F#
Don't lay me off with severance pay,
      D      D/C#    Bm    Bm/A
Work me 'til I'm enslaved,
          G              A
By your elusive ways, invisible love,
        D       A       D
In room 8, room 8, room 8.
