G D/F#
This is a lonely life
Em7 C9
As I know you know too well
G D/F#
I'm thinking of you tonight
Em7 C9
Here in the Sylvia Hotel
G D/F#
Smoking a cigarette
Em7 C9
Drinking a glass of beer
G D/F#
Catching a conversation
Em7 C9
I am trying not to hear
D/F#
One more
G C9
"Why not, okay"
D/F# G
Guess I'm glad I came
D2/F# G C9
To stare at English Bay
D2/F#
Under all the rain
G D/F#
There's a cat in this bar right now
Em7 C9
Twitching his tail away
G D/F#
I called with a soft meow
Em7 C9
Maybe he only speaks Francais
G D/F#
You must be safe in bed
Em7 C9
Down in your cowboy home
G D/F#
I don't wonder why you left
Em7 C9
I wonder why you stayed so long
D/F#
One more
G C9
"Why not, okay"
D/F# G
I'm glad I came
D2/F# G C9
And here's to English Bay
D2/F#
In the lovely rain
Am7 C D2/F#
I found some matches from Durango in my pocket
Am7 C D/F# D2/F#
But if I let my heart get sad then I can't stop it
G D/F#
And this is a lonely life
Em7 C9
Though I think it suits me well
G D/F#
And everything's fine tonight
Em7 C9
Here in the Sylvia Hotel
