[G#] [A]
[G#] [C#]
But I was standing at a big [A#m] hotel, [F#] just wishing everybody well.
[C#] If anybody paid me any mind, it was [A#m] hard to [G#] tell.
And [C#] then a big cop on his feet, [E] [C#] took [F#] out his pistol and pointed at me.
[D#m] [C#] And looking down the barrel, I swore I saw the [G#] gates of hell.
[A] Standing [G#] at the big [C#] hotel, [A#] [Fm] well [C#] I walked him down the avenue.
[F#] Just looking for someone that looked like you.
[C#] I couldn't see her face, it seemed to ring [G#] a bell.
[Fm] [Cm] [C#] And then I stopped beside the fire and dined.
[F#] Went to shopping in a wasting time.
[C#] Along came a gal, she sold me all she had [G#] to sell.
[A] And then I found myself standing [G#] at the big [C#] hotel.
[Fm]
[A#m] And then [G#] I lost my mind in the wilds [C#] of Hollywood.
And [G#] I spent some time in the shadows where [C#] I stood.
And [G#] I let those cars fall just where [C#] they fell.
[G#] And then I found myself [A] standing [G#] at the big [C#] hotel.

[C#]
Lord, Lord, what's the matter with me?
[F#] I pay so much for the song I sing.
[C#] All I'm doing is singing to [G#] myself.
It's [C#] like standing in a stagnant stream.
With [F#] no water in the world left to drink.
[C#] I was down at the bottom of a dried up wishing [G#] well.
[A] Standing [G#] at a big [C#] hotel.
[G#] And I lost my mind in the wilds of [C#] Hollywood.
[G#] And I spent some time in the shadows [C#] where I stood.
[G#] And I let those cars fall just [C#] where they fell.
And [G#] I found myself [A] standing [G#] at the big [C#] hotel.
Yeah, [G#] I found myself [A] standing [G#] at a big [C#] hotel.
I'm so glad [G#] I found myself [A]
standing at [G#] that big hotel.
[C#] [F#] [G] [C#]
[Am] [G#m] [C#]
