[Verse 1]
Bm F#/A# A E/G# G
It’s these substandard motels on the la-la-la-la-la
D/F# C#/F F#11
Corner of 4th and Fremont Street
Bm F#/A# A E/G#
Appealing only ‘cause they’re just that unappealing
G D/F# C#/F F#11
Any practiced Catholic would cross themselves upon entering
Bm F#/A# A E/G#
The rooms have a hint of asbestos and maybe
G D/F# C#/F F#11
Just a dash of formaldehyde
Bm F#/A# A
And the habit of decomposing
E/G# G D/F# F F#
Right before your very la-la-la-la eyes
[Chorus]
Bm
Along with the people inside
D G Em Bm Em D F#11
What a wonderful caricature of intimacy
Bm D G Em Bm Em D F#11
Inside, what a wonderful caricature of intimacy
[Post-Chorus]
G Bm
Tonight’s tenants range from a lawyer and a virgin
G Bm F#/A#
Accessorizing with a rosary tucked inside her lingerie
Em F# G A
She’s getting a job at the firm come Monday
Em F# G F#/A#
The Mrs. will stay with the cheating attorney
Bm F#/A# A E/G#
Moonlighting aside, she really needs his money
G D/F# Em F#
A wonderful caricature of intimacy
Bm
Yeah, yeah
[Verse 2]
F#/A# A E/G#
And not to mention the constable
G D/F# C#/F F# Bm
And his proposition for that “virgin”
F#/A# A E/G#
Yes, the one the lawyer met with
G D/F# C#/F
On “strictly business”
F#11
As he said to the Mrs
Bm F#/A# A E/G# G
Well, only hours before, after he had left
D/F# C#/F F# Bm
She was fixing her face in a compact
F#/A# A E/G# G
There was a terrible crash
F#11
There was a terrible crash
Bm F#/A# A
Between her and the badge
E/G# G6
She spilled her purse and her bag
F#11 Fmaj7#11 F#11 G6 F#11
And held a purse of a different kind
[Chorus]
Bm
Along with the people inside
D G Em Bm Em D F#11
What a wonderful caricature of intimacy
Bm D G Em Bm Em D F#11
Inside, what a wonderful caricature of intimacy
[Post-Chorus]
F#
There are no
G6 Bmadd11 G6
Raindrops on roses and girls in white dresses
Bmadd11 Em
It’s sleeping with roaches and taking best guesses
F# G A
At the shade of the sheets and before all the stains
Em F# G F#/A#
And a few more of your least favorite things
Bm F#/A# A E/G# G
Raindrops on roses and girls in white dresses
D/F# Em C# Bm
It’s sleeping with roaches and taking best guesses
F#/A# A E/G#
At the shade of the sheets and before all the stains

And a few more of your least favorite things
[Chorus]

Inside, what a wonderful caricature of intimacy

Inside, what a wonderful caricature of intimacy
