[Intro]
EI think it F#was
I think it Ewas
I think it F#was
[Verse 1]
EThe click-click-clicking of the fingernail AmclippersE  
EOr was it the sound of laughter outAmside?E  
EOr the pad-pad-padding of the chambermaid's AmslippersE  
EBut I'm awake, I'm awake, "I'm awake F#and quite aware of checkout timEe"
[Verse 2]
EOut and down past those stickers on that Amchambermaid's Ecart
EPast the suits with wet hair at the breakfast buAmffetE  
EThrough the lobby where the World's Largest Lemonade AmStand Estarts
EStarts off each day by shooting away a gun with a sign that says
F#"I'm saving up for a harmonica one day"
[Verse 3]
EAnd past the girl in the wheelchair who says
"It's not F#mine, I'm just sitting in it for someone"
And just then there's a Ebus with a Marlboro ad
On the back that says, F#"Bob, I Miss My Lung"
Except it says, "I Miss My ELung Bob"
It's 'cause I F#paraphrase so much
But I think it Ewas, "I Miss My Lung Bob"
[Outro]
You know I think it F#was
I think it Ewas
I think it F#was
E   F#   E

I think it was

[Verse 1]

E Am E

The click-click-clicking of the fingernail clippers

E Am E

Or was it the sound of laughter outside?

E Am E

Or the pad-pad-padding of the chambermaid's slippers

E F# E

But I'm awake, I'm awake, "I'm awake and quite aware of checkout time"

[Verse 2]

E Am E

Out and down past those stickers on that chambermaid's cart

E Am E

Past the suits with wet hair at the breakfast buffet

E Am E

Through the lobby where the World's Largest Lemonade Stand starts

Starts off each day by shooting away a gun with a sign that says

"I'm saving up for a harmonica one day"

[Verse 3]

And past the girl in the wheelchair who says

"It's not mine, I'm just sitting in it for someone"

And just then there's a bus with a Marlboro ad

On the back that says, "Bob, I Miss My Lung"

Except it says, "I Miss My Lung Bob"

It's 'cause I paraphrase so much

But I think it was, "I Miss My Lung Bob"

[Outro]

You know I think it was

I think it was
