Breaking Locks: C, Am, G, G7, C7, F  
CWhen I checked into that hotel
I couldn't keep from making a living heAmll
I took off my jewelGlery and rented a mG7ovie
Then I triCed to call you 'caC7use something confAmused me
I went fCor a walk to find sC7ome blood
With the blindest eyFes on my mGiserable Cmug
BCreaking locks and getting shoC7cked
No one should evFer hold me Fmup
I've been too awCful to ever be thouGghtful
To ever be nCi-i-i-iGce
When I Ctook off my winter clothes
My body looked like forty or fifty croAmws
Alone in my manGsions I had to comG7mand you
But I was just eCscaping your cC7onjugal sand Amdunes
Now I'm like thCis a bare-chested gC7houl
With his cigarette-eyFes and his visGible droCol
CBreaking locks and getting shC7ocked
No one should eFver hold me Fmup
I've been too aCwful to ever be thouGghtful
To ever be Cni-i-i-Gice
CBreaking locks and getting shoC7cked
No one should evFer hold me Fmup
I've been too aCwful to ever be thouGghtful
To ever be nCice

Breaking Locks: , , , , ,

When I checked into that hotel

I couldn't keep from making a living hell

G G7

I took off my jewellery and rented a movie

C C7 Am

Then I tried to call you 'cause something confused me

C C7

I went for a walk to find some blood

F G C

With the blindest eyes on my miserable mug

C C7

Breaking locks and getting shocked

F Fm

No one should ever hold me up

C G

I've been too awful to ever be thoughtful

C G

To ever be ni-i-i-ice

When I took off my winter clothes

My body looked like forty or fifty crows

G G7

Alone in my mansions I had to command you

C C7 Am

But I was just escaping your conjugal sand dunes

C C7

Now I'm like this a bare-chested ghoul

F G C

With his cigarette-eyes and his visible drool

C C7

Breaking locks and getting shocked

F Fm

No one should ever hold me up

C G

I've been too awful to ever be thoughtful

C G

To ever be ni-i-i-ice

C C7

Breaking locks and getting shocked

F Fm

No one should ever hold me up

C G

I've been too awful to ever be thoughtful

To ever be nice
