        |  G|  G|  G|  G|  C|  C|  C|  C|
Every tiGme I see You walking My way, I just Chide
'Cause I Gdon't really feel like talking about old Ctimes
AAmlthough I still  rCemember it well,
The Amnight that We burned Our last Cbridge
                       G..
In that Cincinnati motel

..                                                 G  C  
Now I don't claim to know much more about this than You
But I Gknow when the deal came down You just did not come Cthrough
You Amleft Me lying cold, alCone in My cell
While AmYou had the time of Your Clife
In that Cincinnati moEmtelD  
DCays of grace haunting Your every move
You're too high Emto see
  DAnd You're too cold to Amfeel Me
|  C|  C|  D|  D..
..                                                      G  C  
Well it started out simple and easy like all good things will
But You tGurned into someone I can't recognize even Cnow
You Amhated when I won but You laCughed when I fell
And Amstumbled back in through the Cdoor
Of that Cincinnati mGotel
Well it's hGard to say how or why You've turned out this Cway
And I cGan't reconcile any debts that You've come to reCpay
Oh 'cause I cAman't forget the lies that CYou tried to tell
The Amnight that We said our goodCbyes
In that Cincinnati mEmotel
  DOh.... Cdays of grace haunting Your every move
You're too high Emto see
  DAnd too cold tAmo feel Me
Oh... Cfade away diamond time
Leave Me here, You're too fine Emto breathe
 DAnd You're so hard tAmo believe

..                                                         G  C  
So don't expect Me to be forgiven 'Cause it's too late for that
And it's hGard enough to just keep living without feeling this Ctrapped
Well the tAmruth in Our lives, yeah We Clost sight of that
It's rAmolling in the dust someCwhere down the track
We bAmoth wrote the songs and We loCved them so well
                                Am   C..
We let 'em slip right through our hands
..                    G  
  In that Cincinnati motel
  CIn that Cincinnati motGel
  CIn that Cincinnati motGel
  CIn that Cincinnati motGel
