C                     F             
Put the past away and slow things down 
C                                           F 
A crime's been committed and there's sirens all over town 
             C                        F 
There's some blood on his shirt and a cut on his cheek 
          C                            F 
And what he's done will forever be his worst memory

        G 
But the silence overwhelms you 
        F    C 
And you come undone 
         G 
You lose all your good sense 
           F        C 
You go way over the edge 
                   F 
There's no turning back 
             G              C         F 
He's checked in to the lost hotel

She abandoned herself into a bottle of pills 
C                               F 
Life's dark highway was finally run out of thrills 
C                           F 
Not really sure what caused her child to die 
               C                                     F 
She thinks she finally found a way to leave all her worries behind

Verse 

         C 
So say a prayer for the weary 
      F 
Say a prayer for the lost 
      C 
Say a prayer for the hungry 
                     F 
They've all paid the highest cost 
C 
Hope is there to find 
              F 
We're just so quick to condemn 
          C 
Lay your hands on a desolate soul 
      F 
Cause someday you just might see them 


            G 
Down at the lost hotel 
              F             C

But the silence overwhelms you 
        F    C 
And you come undone 
         G 
You lose all your good sense 
           F        C 
You go way over the edge 
                   F 
There's no turning back
