C G Em D    C G Em D

[Verse 1]
           C        G            Em     D
She wore a borrowed dress nobody wanted back 
           C         G              Em       D
She looked pretty as a picture in a magazine ad 
          C                   G             Em       D
Her daddy walked her down the isle and then that was that 
             C
No going back now 


[Verse 2]
                 C       G                 Em          D
They said they’d keep on driving till they smelled the ocean
           C      G              Em      D
His arm so proud around her, the windows open
    C       G             Em      D
And all she wanted was to keep on going
             C
Just keep on going


[Chorus]
                          Em
Numbered doors, cheap champagne
           D                         Em
Run out of time before they kill the pain
             C                          Em
Maybe you’ll find what you’re searching for 
            D                     Em     D
Somewhere tonight behind numbered doors 


[Verse 3]
             C             G        Em        D
She took the only waitress job that she could find 
        C         G                 Em       D
Well, a town like this don’t have a Five and Dime 
    C            G        Em           D
The summer’s too hot, the winter’s too cold 
        C
You can buy your Jesus or sell your soul


[Chorus]
                           Em
Numbered doors, misspelled names 
                 D                       Em
It won’t hurt no more, so let it hit the vein 
                C                     Em
You can’t give away what ain’t really yours 
            D                     C
But how she tries behind numbered doors

[Verse 4]
            C        G               Em        D
They didn’t find her there until the next afternoon 
     C            G     Em        D
Housekeeping came in to clean the room 
               C             G         Em       D
Seemed like it happened in a strangely peaceful way 
                C
Sometimes there ain’t no reason why something breaks


[Outro]
           C        G            Em     D
She wore a borrowed dress nobody wanted back 
          C                   G        Em       D
Her daddy walked her down the isle and that was that
