    C                  C/B        Am 
The hotel band played "Hotel California" 
F                             G 
We were lying upstairs in our bed 
C       C/B                       Am 
Mexican moonlight poured into the room 
F                          G 
Spilled down the walls and gathered around your head 
         C                C/B               Am   
I fell a thousand miles into your soul that evening 
F                                 C    
Even though it's been years since then 
C             C/B                      Am 
After all the valleys and the mountain tops 
F           G  
If I had to, I'd do it all again 
 
            F             G                   C      C/B    Am 
Cause every mile, that we walk down brings me closer to the truth 
        F                    G                      C  
And the truth is I've always loved you and I always will 
          C               G               C      C/B     Am 
And every valley, that we walk down if we hang onto each other 
            F                               G                 F        G             C 
We're gonna make it baby, to the top of the hill, I've always loved you and I always will 
 
 
 
Time can be a healer and a teacher 
So many things I've learned from time 
Looking back it's made me a believer 
That poetry in motion really doesn't have to rhyme 
Like those moments that we have when no one's watching us 
Probably lock us up if people knew 
And if I'm really going out of my mind 
Who better to go there with than you 
 
Chorus
