Gm     F       C
Oh my, oh my friends
When can I see you all again?
Built up castles made of sand
They may fall, but memories remain

A#     Dm   C  Gm
Don't let them say
Dreamin' of way back when

In and out your door
We were all someone else before
Leavin' shadows on each other's walls
We laughed and cried, laughed and cried some more

So don't let them say
Dreamin' of way back when
Don't break the spell
I'm leavin' the heartbreak hotel

A#    Dm  Gm
Catch you in my sleep
Catch you in my sleep
Catch you in my sleep
Catch you in my sleep
Catch you in my sleep

Catch you in my sleep
(I'm leavin' the heartbreak hotel)
Catch you in my sleep
(I'm leavin' the heartbreak hotel)
Catch you in my sleep
(I'm leavin' the heartbreak hotel)
Catch you in my sleep
(I'm leavin' the heartbreak hotel)
Catch you in my sleep
(I'm leavin' the heartbreak hotel)
Catch you in my sleep
(I'm leavin' the heartbreak hotel)
