Chord Moonlight Motel by Bruce Springsteen

intro D Bm G A verse 1 D Bm there’s a place on a blank stretch of road where G A nobody travels and nobody goes and the D Bm deskman says these days ’round here G A where two young folks could probably up and disappear into G D rustlin’ sheets , a sleepy corner room Bm Bm/A G into the musty smell D Bm of wilted flowers and lazy afternoon hours G A D Bm G A at the moonlight motel verse 2 D Bm now the pool’s filled with empty , eight foot deep G A got dandelions growin’ up through the cracks in the concrete D Bm chain - link fence half - rusted away G A got a sign , says , "children , be careful how you play" G D your lipstick taste and your whispered secret Bm Bm/A G i promised i’d never tell D Bm a half - drunk beer and your breath in my ear G A D Bm G A at the moonlight motel chorus G D/F# well then , it’s bills and kids and kids and bills Bm Bm/A G and the ringing of the bell D Bm across the valley floor through the dusty screen door G A D Bm G A of the moonlight motel verse 3 D Bm last night i dreamed of you , my lover G A and the wind blew through the window and blew off the covers D Bm of my lonely bed , i woke to something you said G A that it’s better to have loved , yeah , it’s better to have loved G D as i drove , there was a chill in the breeze Bm Bm/A G and leaves tumbled from the sky and fell D Bm on a road so black as i backtracked G A D Bm to the moonlight motel G D she was boarded up and gone like an old summer song Bm Bm/A G nothing but an empty shell D Bm i pulled in and stopped into my old spot instrumental G A Bm chorus G D i pulled a bottle of jack out of a paper bag Bm Bm/A G poured one for me and one for you as well D Bm then it was one more shot poured out onto the parking lot G A D Bm G A D to the moonlight motel
