C* C# B*
He kept to his own company last night
C*
lay upon the bed,
C# B* C* C#
drapes and blinds shut tight.
C* C#
He booked the wake up call,
C* C# B
his cases were all packed up by the door.
Gm#
All ready for it, then:
Dm# G# F C#*
goodbye room 1210.
C* C#
He's taken a view
C* C# B
and squandered a few moments here
Gm#
but no time's wasted when
Dm# Fm G#
he's in Room 1210.
C# C#
Away from all the brutal noise outside
B C#
He paces out the waiting time.
C# C#
Delaying at the threshold of the door
B C#
he's never going to go back to the party.
Instrumental bridge follows, riffs are played...
C# C#-b x3
Gm# Gm# Bm C* C# C* C#
A black and white film
dubbed in a language
he can't understand's
been on the TV awhile.
The night rush below,
the sirens outside come and go -
no-one can touch him when
he's in Room 1210.
C* C# x2
Time and event disappear
but every wall has ears
and the stories accrue.
C* C# B
Dimly, he notes spinning gears
Gm#
he's one among the ghosts
D#m G#sus4 D#m
whose lives have been spent in
G#m D#m G#sus4 G#
Room 1210.
G#m G#m Bm Fm G#m Bm Fm F#6 Fm C7
G#m G#m+f
A place of safety all his own
Bm Fm
now he's not ever going home.
G#m7
Behind the door
Fm C
there's just one favour he implores:
Fm
do not disturb him
Cm Fm
any more.
