[Intro]
E F#
I think it was
E
I think it was
F#
I think it was
[Verse 1]
E Am E
The click-click-clicking of the fingernail clippers
E Am E
Or was it the sound of laughter outside?
E Am E
Or the pad-pad-padding of the chambermaid's slippers
E F# E
But I'm awake, I'm awake, "I'm awake and quite aware of checkout time"
[Verse 2]
E Am E
Out and down past those stickers on that chambermaid's cart
E Am E
Past the suits with wet hair at the breakfast buffet
E Am E
Through the lobby where the World's Largest Lemonade Stand starts
E
Starts off each day by shooting away a gun with a sign that says
F#
"I'm saving up for a harmonica one day"
[Verse 3]
E
And past the girl in the wheelchair who says
F#
"It's not mine, I'm just sitting in it for someone"
E
And just then there's a bus with a Marlboro ad
F#
On the back that says, "Bob, I Miss My Lung"
E
Except it says, "I Miss My Lung Bob"
F#
It's 'cause I paraphrase so much
E
But I think it was, "I Miss My Lung Bob"
[Outro]
F#
You know I think it was

I think it was
