i checked into a bargain price room on la cienaga

gazed out through the curtains at the parking lot
E C#m
walked down to the corner store just before night fall in my bare feet
F#m A E
black tarry ashpault soft and hot

and when i came back i spread out my supplies
A
on the counter by the sink
B
looked myself right in the eyes

E
st. joseph's baby aspirin
A B
bartles & jaymes
E
and you
A B
or your memory

i ducked behind the drapes when i saw the moon begin to rise
gathered in my loose ends switched of the light
and down there in the dark i can see the real truth about me
as clear as day lord if i make it through tonight

then i will mend my ways
and walk the straight path
till the end of my days

st. joseph's bay aspirin
bartles & jaymes
and you
or your memory
