| Walking down the corr | idor |

| Rows of cars and buses m | erge |

| All the sweet green t | rees of Atlanta | burst |

| Like little | bombs |

| Or little | pom-poms |
| C | G | |
| Shaken | by a careless | hand |

| That drives them | off |

| And leaves | again |

| Life just kind of | empties | out |
| G | C | Em | D | |
| Less a | deluge | than a | drought |
| G | C | Em | D | |
| Less a | giant | mushroom | cloud |

| Than an | unexploded | shell |

| Inside a | cell |
| Em | |
| Of the Lennox H | otel |

| (Repeat as first verse/chorus) |
| On the 22nd floor |
| Found a notice on my door |
| While outside, the sun is shining on |
| Those little bombs |
| Those little pom-poms |
| Life just kind of empties out |
| Less a deluge than a drought |
| Less a giant mushroom cloud |
| Than an unexploded shell |
| Inside a cell |
| Of the Lennox Hotel |
| C G D Em (a few times with 'oooo-ooo'ing) |

| Inside a c | ell |
| Em | |
| Of the Lennox H | otel |

| Inside a c | ell |
