[Verse 1]
[D]Mrs. [G]Smi[A]th [G]and[D] Mr[G]. J[A]one[D]s[G]
have [A]come to pass [Bm]the night
They [G]pulled off of the [F#m]highway when
[E]they saw [A]my light[Em][A]
It's a [D]vacancy I [G]offer them,
what [A]they offer [Bm]me
Is [G]fullness for a [F#m]lifetime that's [Em]bare
as can [A]be[Am][A][C][A]

[Verse 2]
There's a [D]vacancy,
[F#m]won't you come t[G]o me[A]
And [Bm]fill my [A]empty [G]spaces
I'm a [D]motel [F#m]man in a pr[G]omised la[A]nd
That's [Bm]filled with [A]empty [G]faces
So won't you [D]bring your [F#m]sorrows
[G]bring your dream[A]s,
It's a [Bm]place for [A]you [Bm]to be[A][E]
There's [Bm]no more tomo[F#m]rrow
or [G]that's how it seems
Won't you [Bm]come [E]to me?
[G]I've got a va[A]cancy
[D][G][A][G][D][G]

[Verse 3]
[A]Anoth[D]er name,
an[G]other key, an[A]other pass [Bm]to glory
An[G]other night, an[F#m]other sight,
an[Em]other bedtime [A]story[Em][A]
An[D]other stage, an[G]other chance,
for [A]gentleness or vi[Bm]olence
An[G]other birth, an[F#m]other dance,
an[Em]other death in [Am]si le[C]nce[A]

[Verse 4]
There's a [D]vacancy,
[F#m]won't you come t[G]o me[A]
And [Bm]fill my [A]empty [G]spaces
I'm a [D]motel [F#m]man in a pr[G]omised la[A]nd
That's [Bm]filled with [A]empty [G]faces
So [D]won't you bring your sor
[F#m]rows b[G]ring your dreams[A],
It's a [Bm]place for [A]you [Bm]to be[A][E]
There's [Bm]no more tomo[F#m]rrow
or [G]that's how it seems
Won't you [Bm]come [E]to me?
[G]I've got a va[A]cancy[D]
[G][A][G][D][G][A]

[Verse 5]
[D]Mr. John is
coming on with his liaison
[Em]Mr. Soft is comin' off and
soon he'll be gone
[F#m]Mrs. Hart has come apart
now that she's alone
Mr. [G]Jive has come alive but [A]nobody's
home
[F#m][A][F#m][A]

[Verse 6]
[D]Mornings come [G]checkout time,
with [A]my pail and [Bm]broom
I [G]find what they've [F#m]left behind
in [Em]every [E]tell-tale room
[A]roo[C]m[A]
The [D]sheets show [G]their struggles,
the [A]glasses their [Bm]fears
[G]The ashtrays the [F#m]hours passed,
the [Em]towels their [A]tears[C]
[A]There's a

[Verse 7]
[D]vacancy,
[F#m]won't you come t[G]o me[A]
And [Bm]fill my [A]empty [G]spaces
I'm [D]a motel [F#m]man in a pr[G]omised la[A]nd
That's [Bm]filled with [A]empty [D]fac[G]es
So won't you [D]bring your sor
[F#m]rows b[G]ring your dreams[A],
It's a [Bm]place for [D]you [Bm]to be[D][E]
There's [Bm]no more tomorr[F#m]ow
or [G]that's how it seems
Won't you [Bm]come to [E]me?
[G]I've got [A]a vacancy
