  C          G         D            F            G
I was in the honeymoon suite at the Canmore Hotel.
  C           G              D             F         G
I was drunk, I was dying of lonliness and looking like hell
  C                G            D          F             G
(it was seventeen years to the day since you'd turned me down).
   C            G                 D           F        G
The locals were brawling, and the bar was emptying out.

  C              G              D               F           G
Did you get all those letters I sent? Are you thinking of me?
           C              G            D                F            G
Or did you hide them in drawers? Under cushions? In pockets? Up sleeves?
       C       G           D          F        G
The heater is broken, but at least I've got a TV.

   C          G          D               F              G
Imagine we'd run away together and we'd made it this far.
   C          G               D               F            G
We'd get married for ninety-two dollars in Riverside Park.
    C             G                 D            F           G
The three sisters would cry, and tie cans to the back of my car.
    C             G            D            F            G
And I'd be in the honeymoon suite and not back in the bar.

The next morning the weather was perfect, so I went for a drive
           C                 G             D                F            G
through the mountains and past little homes with little kids playing outside.
     C           G             D           F            G
A wife, and a husband - a life that should have been mine.
