Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]I don't change the chords
any[E]more[Am]
[C]The chords [Dm]change [Am]by themselves

[Verse 2]
[Am]
The time luxury affords any bore
Turns [Dm]towards all the whistles and [Am]the bells
I can't [Dm]even remember
My best past re[Am]tort
I'm in a resort [Dm]town
At the Hotel Last [Am]Resort

[Verse 3]
[Am]
[E]Who did I not call
What did I not write
Blue [B]spring, gold fall, green sum[E]mer,
winter white
Someone's [Am]singing in another language
I [Dm]think
Might be [Am]english

[Verse 4]
[Am]
The ship is leaking tonnage
and tankage
"They [Dm]sink"
Lightly [Am]sing fish
Message [Dm]says "Ship's
flag flies at half mast"
Re[Am]port but no message can [Dm]be sent
From the Hotel Last [Am]Resort

[Verse 5]
[Am]
You wro[E]te me so many letters
I [B]keep them in a bag
New [C]hope, so many "Feel betters"
But [Dm]jets aren't the [B]only things that [E]lag
Bod[Am]ies in motion
Tend to stay in motion
Bodies at [Dm]rest
[Am]

[Verse 6]
That's inertia, inertia, inertia
Did I win a million bucks
Yes, [C]you [Dm]did
And now you go to where
the lodgings are [Am]deluxe
And [Dm]join me in my bed where we will blaze,
blast, [Am]con tort
Alive or [Dm]dead
Laying in the Hotel [C]Last [Am]Resort

[Verse 7]
[Am]
I don't like to snorkel
And I [Dm]don't want to [Am]swim
I don't laugh but I chortle
When [C]I p[Dm]ass by the g[Am]ym
I don't take [C]a tour[Dm]
I don't take on [Am]a guide
My fields I rake with manure
[C]I'm[Dm] fertilizing for pride[Am]
But the mis[Dm]sion has been pulled
All agents must [Am]abort
And I am losing my pa[Dm]tience
At The Hotel [Am]Lust [Dm]Re sort
[Am]

[Verse 8]
I've be[A]come in[Am]visible
Because one is not divisible
[Dm]I wand[A]er like the jews
I [Am]ponder on my muse
I [A]pander to the [Am]few
I divide myself by 2
Half of half is still half
And a chortle [G]is still not a real laugh
[Am]

[Verse 9]
[Dm]Yo bro where the hoes at
Asked a [Am]sport, nobody [C]knows [Dm]that
At the Hotel Last Resort
[Am]

[Verse 10]
In my tomorrow's I got here
I checked [Dm]out
Before [Am]I checked in
Václav Havel likes beer
And sor[Dm]rows for things
Slovaki[Am]an
He could've been my best friend
Of human [Dm]wrongs I wished we had [Am]spoke
Fine weather in the west wind
My [C]Cuban [Dm]songs I sing for the [Am]Pope
I'm still try[Dm]in' to get some rest
In this castle, this social [Am]fort
Wishing you all [C]the [Dm]be st
From the Hotel [C]Last Resort
[Am][Dm][Am][Am]

[Verse 11]
I don't change
the chords any[A]more[Am]
The [C]chord[Am] s change by themselves
[Am]
