D# Em7 Cadd9 G Cadd9 G Cadd9 G (2x)
D# Em7 Cadd9 G Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
I...write mostly on hotel paper
D# Em7 Cadd9 G Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
Kno..wing that my thoughts will never leave this room
D# Em7 Cadd9 G Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
I'd be...out of line telling you, "leave her"
D# Em7 Cadd9 G Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
So I lie...lonely surrounded by you
D# Em7 Cadd9 G Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
By you
D# Em7 Cadd9 G Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
Late...ly I can't be happy for no one
D# Em7 Cadd9 G Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
They think...I need some time to myself
D# Em7 Cadd9 G Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
I...try to smile but I can't remember
D# Em7 Cadd9 G Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
and I...know tomorrow there'll be nothing else
CHORUS
D# Em7 Cadd9 G D# Em7 Cadd9
And I... I wanted to be
G D# Em7 Cadd9 G D# Em7 Cadd9 G
Giving you ev...erything she's not giving
D# Em7 Cadd9 G D# Em7 Cadd9
And I... I wanted to see
G D# Em7 Cadd9 G Bm G Bm G
'Cause I didn't believe what I'd been hearing
(Banjo part: D# Em7 Cadd9 G D# Em7 Cadd9 G)
D# Em7 Cadd9 G Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
You...turned out to be more than I bargained for
D# Em7 Cadd9 G Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
And I...can tell that you need to get away
D# Em7 Cadd9 G Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
Forgive...me if I admit that I'd love to... love you
D# Em7 Cadd9 G Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
We...both realized it way too late
CHORUS
And I wanted to be
Giving you everything she's not giving
And I wanted to see
G D# Em7 Cadd9 G Bm G
'Cause I didn't believe what I'd been hearing
Cadd9 G
Maybe this wind blowing in just came from the ocean (stroke down chords once)
(Instrumental part: D# Em7 Cadd9 G D# Em7 Cadd9 G)
D# Em7 Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
I...write mostly on hotel paper (stroke down on last chord)

| This is the first Hotel Paper song that doesnt relate to my ex. Well I could relate it to him if I really tried, but I relate it alot better to my friend. Me and him were really close for awhile and he had always had feelings for me, but I didnt know my feelings for him until he started dating this other girl. And after him and her were going out all I could write were songs about him and how I messed up. And so many times I just wanted to tell him to leave her, but what made it worse was that she was one of my friends. He even told me he liked me more than her. But I knew I screwed up, it was too late, cuz even after they did break up, she still liked him a lot and I couldnt do that to her. So yeah, technically to me, this song is about someone who realized her feelings for someone after it was too late. | |

| Basically the song is about her feelings toward her ex's new girlfriend. Shes looking back on their relationship saying that things could have been done so much better ("we both realized it way too late") and how shes maybe feeling some jealously towards the new girl because shes still very much into her ex. | |

| Well, first of all, this song is definately one of the "deep thinking" ones. Michelle really but a lot into this song. in my point of view, it's like two definately close friends. they were always there forn eachother and everything. but when the guy gets a g/f, then the girl finally realizes, she loves him, she wanted to be much more than friends. and... i guess she's way too late. it's something like "take your chances", and that's a statement i can definately relate to. | |
