The Rose Hotel

GCGC G Bm He was walking through the alley way C G Where the drifters sleep and the wild dogs play Am Em The moon was black, the sky was grey C D He thought he was alone She was waiting at the rose hotel Across the street from the wishing well Turned the latch and broke the nail Checked her mobile phone Chorus: C G D Em Sometimes you run, sometimes you fall C G D Sometimes you don't get up at all C D G C Sometimes you run. sometimes you fall He bought a ticket on the uptown train Got off at 8th and birmingham Wonder if she gave a dam about him anymore She hadn't seen him in a year or so Why he called she did not now She had the oldies on the radio and someone at the door Chorus: Sometimes you run, sometimes you fall Sometimes you don't get up at all Sometimes you run, sometimes you fall He threw a nickel in the wishing well Crossed the street to the Rose Hotel Got no answer when he rang the bell So he gave a little shout Tiny watched him with baseball bat A cheap cigar and a persian cap Told him it was too bad that She had just checked out Chrous: Sometimes you run, sometimes you fall Sometimes you don't get up at all Sometimes you run, sometimes you fall
