E                             A                      E  
	Saw your picture in the paper and i see you married good 
                                         A                       B                         
	And i know that he can give you all the things i never could 
                                  A        B                     E     
	But i know that he can't give you what you need most of all 
                              A   B                          E   
	So the door is always open,and the lights on in the hall 


Chorus: 
         E                     B     A                        E   
	Yes the door is always open and the lights on in the hall 
                                   A      B                    E  
	And you know that i'll be waiting,if you ever come to call 



          E                               A                       E   
	When night falls on that mansion and you're lying in his bed 
                                        A                       B 
	When he begs you for attention,will you think of me instead 
                                 A       B                           E        
	When he reaches out to touch you,is your face turned to the wall 
                                A     B                        E 
	Well the door is always open,and the lights on in the hall
