Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
Hotel  hobbies padding dawns  hollow corridors
 Bell boys checking out the hookers  in the bar
Slug-like fingers trace the star-spangled clouds of cocaine on the mirror
The short straw takes its bow
------Dm
The  tell tale sign of the last  cigarette marking time in the pockets as the
whisky  sweat lies like discarded  armour on an unmade  bed
 And a familiar craving  is crawling through his head
------------------G/D
 And the only  sign of life is the ticking of the pen
Introducing  characters to memories like old friends
Frantic  as a cardiograph scratching out the lines
In a fever of confession a catalogue of crime in happy hour
Do you cry in happy hour, do you hide in happy hour, a pilgrimage to happy hour
--------------------------------------------------------------|D]
-------------------------------------------------------|Bm]
------------------------------------------------------------------------|C5]
New  shadows tugging  at the corner of his eye
 Jostling for attention  as the sunlight  flares
 Through a curtains tear, shuffling  its beams
 As if in nervous  anticipation  of another day
