Old Haunts New Cities

• Am

         Am               Am             C              E


Am
I was cruisin' in the night streets
Am                     C
I was looking for my hotel
   E

Am
I was lost in some strange city
Am                       C   E
and I couldn't find my hotel-room
Am
I was desperate in the midnight hour
F                 G
I needed sleep, a sink and shower
Am
But when one room's like the next
Am           C   E
It's hard to tell

         Am               Am             C              E

Am
At last I picked a spot 
Am                           C
Where I thought I had been before
   E

Am
With the elevator broken
Am                           C     E
I dragged myself up fourteen floors
Am
And at the top of this old building
          F                    G
I knew no numbers but I knew a feeling
Am
And my key slid effortlessly 
Am       C   E
Into the door

         Am               Am             C              E

Am
When I crossed into that space
Am                        C
I was met with a familiar smell
   E

Am
But it was wrong and out of place
Am                        C   E
There was a woman in my hotel-room
Am
She said, you might have known me all my life
F               G
But who was I before tonight?
Am                             C   E
Kiss me now, I promise I won't tell


Am                C
Love, it will haunt you
F                  G       Am
Whether or not you want it to
        C      G    F  E
But for me, my only company
          F                  G       Am
Are these ghosts that barely come to me
E                       C          Em7
Only when I look for something else
