Borrowed Rooms And Old Wood Floors

Em D A   Em D A

[Verse 1]

Em       D           A
Sorority sister Mississippi
Em              D                A
Old high school friend in Kansas City
Em                  D               A              Bm         G
The only thing that we have left to talk about are faded memories

Em               D                A
I don’t sleep at all or sleep too much
      Em                      D               A
Can’t sleep through a crying baby or garbage truck
          Em              D              A                Bm                G
There’s a note out on the counter saying help yourself to anything that you please

[Chorus]

G                           Bm
Borrowed rooms and old wood floors
G                A
I lay me down at night
          G               A         Bm
You don’t ask where home is anymore
          Em                 A        D
It’s just borrowed rooms and old wood floors

[Verse 2]

Em       D            A
Shower’s hot, hope it lasts
Em              D              A
Hair is getting longer down my back
Em               D               A        Bm             G
I lean under the water, close my eyes and let it wash me clean

Em        D              A
I live in other peoples’ homes
       Em            D                A
Finish up the pot of coffee when it’s cold
Em                      D               A                 Bm                 G
But my mother raised me right, I always write a thank you note and strip the sheets

[Chorus]

G                           Bm
Borrowed rooms and old wood floors
G                A
I lay me down at night
          G               A         Bm
You don’t ask where home is anymore
          Em                 A        D
It’s just borrowed rooms and old wood floors

[Refrain]

G
Was it this cold last year?
        A
I can’t remember
    D                  A         Bm
The leaves are turning early for September
G                          A
I wish that I could stick around
        D                            Bm
Another drive, another show, another stranger’s house

[Chorus]

G                           Bm
Borrowed rooms and old wood floors
G                A
I lay me down at night
          G               A         Bm
You don’t ask where home is anymore
          Em                 A        D
It’s just borrowed rooms and old wood floors
