Hotel Key
By Old Dominion
//Tab by Apts//
[Intro]
E F# B G#m
E F# B G#m
[Verse 1]
EWell it was down some street we couldn't F#even pronounce
We were Bsmoking a little from a C#half an ounce
ETequila was cheap but the F#flow we were feeling was G#mrealB  
Neither Eone of us looking for F#three little words
BUnless those three words were C#'do not disturb'
ECheckout was s'posed to be F#noon but we slept in B'til three
[Chorus]
EShe kept the F#hotel Bkey
Slipped it G#min her purse, I guess
EIt makes her F#think of Bme
And that G#mnight we left our Ehearts on our sleeves and the F#clothes all over the floor
BWe both know we can't G#mopen the door no more
EBut she kept the F#hotel Bkey
[Verse 2]
EWell I could still see her on the bed sitting F#Indian style
With my Bt-shirt on and a C#half drunk smile
She Etalked about Austin and F#how she'd get back there someG#mdayB  
We had the Ecurtains wide open and a F#song on my phone
We Bdanced by the TV we C#never turned on
And Ewondered would anyone F#miss us if we ran aG#mwayB  
But Ethis isn't one of those F#stories that ends up that Bway, na
[Chorus]
EShe kept the F#hotel Bkey
Slipped it G#min her purse, I guess
EIt makes her F#think of Bme
And that G#mnight we left our Ehearts on our sleeves and the F#clothes all over the floor
BWe both know we can't G#mopen the door no more
EBut she kept the F#hotel Bkey,  yG#meah
[Break]
ooh ooh Eooh ooh, ooh F#ooh ooh ooh, Booh ooh ooh oohG#m

ooh ooh Eooh ooh, ooh F#ooh ooh ooh, Booh ooh ooh oohG#m  
ooh ooh Eooh ooh, ooh F#ooh, ooh oohB  G#m  
[Bridge]
We left the Elights
We left the F#crowd
We left the Bworld and locked it G#mout
She left a Epicture in my F#head
She left the Bnight I can't forG#mget, but
[Chorus]
EShe kept the F#hotel Bkey
Slipped it G#min her purse, I guess
EIt makes her F#think of Bme
And that G#mnight we left our Ehearts on our sleeves and the F#clothes all over the floor
BWe both know we can't G#mopen the door no more
EBut she kept the F#hotel Bkey
G#mYeah, she kept it
[Outro Chorus]
EShe kept the F#hotel Bkey
Slipped it G#min her purse, I guess
EIt makes her F#think of Bme
And that G#mnight we left our Ehearts on our sleeves and the F#clothes all over the floor
BWe both know we can't G#mopen the door no more
EBut she kept the F#hotel Bkey
G#mYeah, she kept it
EShe kept the F#hotel Bkey
G#mOooh
EShe kept the F#hotel Bkey  (Bfade)

Well I could still see her on the bed sitting Indian style
