verse 1 
Gm7            Bb6         Ebadd9                     D7 
   By now I've realized my head  knocks against the stars 
Gm7             Bb6                       Ebadd9                   D7 
   I've been to hell and back and have to won - der where we belong 
Gm7                   Gm7/F     Ebmaj7                 D7 
   Spreading all this dirty lie,      have we found us rolling by 
Gm7               Bb6                  Ebadd9                D7 
   He sheds light to my stars, now what      about judgement day 
 
   Will there ever be an heaven where we both can stay? 
 
 
Bbm       Db 
      Blue... motel 
Gbmaj7    Ebm     F 
      I'm in some far-off 
Bbm       Db 
      Blue... motel 
Gbmaj7  Ebm     F 
      A distant place 
Bbm       Db 
      Blue... motel 
Gbmaj7    Ebm   F 
      And all I am taught 
Bbm       Db 
      Blue... motel 
Gbmaj7     D/F# 
      Is a friendly face

verse 2 
      Gm7   Bb6                   Ebadd9                 D7 
   It feels good to know, although      one will never be 
Gm7               Bb6                       Ebadd9             D7 
   You're looking at the same stars on this lonely planet with me 
 
   Will there ever be a church where we both feel free?
