Verse 1EmG
It's a cheap hotel, the heat pipes hiss
DEm
The bathroom's down the hall, and it smells like piss
EmG
It's another night in another town
DEm
And I'm another blues traveler headed down
EmG
Falling out of love is a dangerous thing
DEm
With its slippery slopes and its weighted wings
EmG
With its birds of prey circling overhead
DEm
Casting vulture shadows on barren beds
BridgeAEm
Let me out, set me free
AEm
Let me out, set me free
[solo]
EmGDEmVerse 2EmG
The clock inside the church bell tower
DEm
Rings your name every hour
EmG
I see your face, I touch your hair
DEm
Then the ringing fades and nobody's there
EmG
Falling out of love is a treacherous thing
DEm
With its crucible kiss and its ravaged ring
EmG
With its holy whispers and labyrinth lies
DEm
Sacriligious hungry sighs
BridgeAEm
Let me out, set me free
AEm
Let me out, set me free
[solo]
EmGDEmVerse 3EmG
I walk the streets, and I taste the dirt
DEm
I am flesh and blood, and my body hurts
EmG
I search your silence looking for a crack
DEm
For a passageway where I can pull you back
EmG
Falling out of love is a tedious thing
DEm
With its jailhouse smirk and its chain gang swing
G
Its time to serve and its sentence set
DEm
With its warm blood and cold sweat
BridgeAEm
Let me out, set me free
AEm
Let me out, set me free
