       G                  C
I was watching, with one eye on the other side,
       D
I had fifteen people telling me to move,
       G
I got movin’ on my mind.
          G               C
I found shelter, in some dolls
turning wheels around,
          D
I've said 39 times that
                 G
I love u to the beauty I have found.

Chorus:
           G
Well it's, one, two, three, four, take the elevator,
        C                                       D
at the hotel Yorba I'll be glad to see you later,
                             G F G
all they got inside is vacancy

G C D G

I've been thinking,
by a little place down by the lake
They've got a dirty old road
leading up to the house
I wonder how long it will take
till we're alone,
sitting on a front porch of that home
Stompin our feet, on the wooden boards,
Never gotta worry about locking the door

Chorus

G C D G

                G
It might sound silly,
                  C
for me to think childish thoughts like these
    D
But I'm so tired of acting tough,
       G
and I gonna do what I please.
           G                   C
Let's get married in a big cathedral by a priest
           D
because if I'm the man that you love the most,
           G
You could say I do at least.

Chorus:
Well its, one, two, three, four, take the elevator,
at the hotel Yorba I'll be glad to see you later,
all they got inside is vacancy
And it's four, five six, seven, grab the umbrella,
And grab hold of me cause I’m your favourite fella,
All they got inside is vacancy
