Intro:
GD/F#Em7CGD/F#
This is a lonely life
Em7Cadd9
As I know you know too well
GD/F#
I'm thinking of you tonight
Em7Cadd9
Here in the Sylvia Hotel
GD/F#
Smoking a cigarette
Em7Cadd9
Drinking a glass of beer
GD/F#
Catching a conversation
Em7Cadd9
I am trying not to hear
Chorus:
D/F#
One more
GCadd9
"Why not, okay"
D/F#G
Guess I'm glad I came
Dsus2/F#GCadd9
To stare at English Bay
Dsus2/F#
Under all the rain
GD/F#
There's a cat in this bar right now
Em7Cadd9
Twitching his tail away
GD/F#
I called with a soft meow
Em7Cadd9
Maybe he only speaks Francais
GD/F#
You must be safe in bed
Em7Cadd9
Down in your cowboy home
GD/F#
I don't wonder why you left
Em7Cadd9
I wonder why you stayed so long
Chorus:
D/F#
One more
GCadd9
"Why not, okay"
D/F#G
I'm glad I came
Dsus2/F#GCadd9
And here's to English Bay
Dsus2/F#
In the lovely rain
Bridge:
Am7CDsus2/F#
I found some matches from Durango in my pocket
Am7CD/F#Dsus2/F#
But if I let my heart get sad then I can't stop it
GD/F#
And this is a lonely life
Em7Cadd9
Though I think it suits me well
GD/F#
And everything's fine tonight
Em7Cadd9
Here in the Sylvia Hotel
