[Verse 1]
 G
Sunday night, it's supper time
     Em
The hotel's full and all is fine
        C
You can see that neon no vacancy sign
         D
From the window of room 39
G
  Monday morning at half past eight
    Em
Everbody's gone they've left no trace
  C
I sit alone as the day grows late
 D                             G
Wait to see your friendly face
 G
Why you chose my hotel
    Em
I'm not real qualified to tell
     C
It's just your face I remember well
         D
When you asked if I had a room to sell
     G
Well,   maybe you liked just what you saw
    Em
The cable tv and the indoor spa
   C
Or maybe it was the low low price
D                  G
  27 bucks a night.
 
[Chorus]
D                            G*
 They say the highway is for lovers
Em        C                  G*
  But he ain't no friend of mine
Em          G
  Coz every time I find my heart
    Em            G           D  D*
I lose it to that long yellow line
 
[Verse 2)
G
You checked in I checked you out
    Em
You smiled from the corners of your mouth
  C
I turned on the no vacancy sign
       D
As you checked in to room 39
 G
I saw the light from your tv
          Em
You were watching channel 23
    C
The night was long, the dark was deep
  D                             G
I kind of cried myself to sleep
 
[Chorus]
D                             G*
  They say the highway is for lovers
Em        C                    G*
  But he ain't no friend of mine
Em          G
  Coz every time I find my heart
   Em             G            D  D*
I lose it to that long yellow line
 
[Verse 3]
G
Morning broke itself at last
    Em
You got your continental breakfast
C
Dropped off the key and said goodbye
  D
I think I thought I head you sigh
  G
I   caught a glimpse of your license plate
           Em
As you were drifting down the interstate
   C
It said you were from Delaware
       D                            G
I said oh it must be gorgeous there
 
[Chorus]
D                            G*
  They say the highway is for lovers
Em       C                    G*
  But he ain't no friend of mine
Em           G
  Coz every time I find my heart
   Em             G            D
I lose it to that long yellow line,
                     G
to that long yellow line
Em D G
