C
I wound up drinking backstage alone
    D
And wondering why
            G               C
We booked a show in Toronto
       Em
On the 4th of July
     C                       D
In a three day coma from the border flush
        G         D*          Em   C
They're trying to make an example out of us

[Verse 2]
G                       C                G
Gotta find a place to unload the last 3 weeks
G                   C                   G
Try to get tired enough for me to go to sleep
C                                 G
Hotel parties are exactly what we need
C                                    G
Hotel parties always get the best of me

[Pre-Chorus]
            C         D
Because the company I keep
         G       D*  Em
They all live in my TV
Am                 G                C
Sometimes they lie with me while I sleep

[Chorus]
C            D
Episodes and seasons
        G       D*        Em
Without money, love, or reason
            C
My heart's leaving

[Instrumental] x2

[Verse 3]
   G             C                G
Another freezing 5 hour post-show drive
    G                    C                    G
And cars don't pass like ships sailing in the night
      C                           G
Hotel parties making everything alright
      C                                G
Hotel parties always leave me feeling light

[Pre-Chorus]
               C                  D
They're having hotel parties even in my dreams
              G         D*                          Em
What went to sleep as a whisper just woke up as a scream
                C                                    D
I think they're pumping something poison through the hotel vents
         G            D*                  Em
But I'm not sure just who I'm trying to convince
           C         D
Because the company I keep
         G       D*  Em
They all live in my TV
   Am              G                C
Sometimes they lie with me while I sleep

[Chorus]
 C            D
Episodes and seasons
         G      D*       Em
Without money, love, or reason
            C
My heart's leaving

[Pre-Chorus]
           C                      D
All these different names for the exact same thing
             G             D*           Em
I lost some friends in the van but at least I can sing
  C                                D
Just give me some gold that I can turn into silence
           G          D*            Em          C   D
While the towns slow-fade into the haze behind them

       C         D
Hotel parties, Ooh
       C         D
Hotel parties, Ooh
       C         D
Hotel parties, Ooh
       C         D
Hotel parties, Ooh
      C   D
Woah Ooh!

[Outro]

Hotel parties, Ooh

Hotel parties, Ooh

Hotel parties, Ooh
G
