Intro:
Verse:
[Dm]I was down in Amsterdam
Almost hurt myself to death
I p[C]ushed myself so hard
Just like the [Dm]redlight girls
Well [Dm]I cried and stopped to smile
I thought that my career is over
And the d[C]ealer boys they had to bring me [Dm]water
[F]I stumbled over [Dm]mountains
[F]And the shadows of the [Dm]street
[F]I fell into the [Dm]river
I [A]cried and and begged for mercy
And I talked to god on the telephone
Chorus:
But I [F]really can't tell you what he [C]told me
But it was a l[Dm]ie
No I r[F]eally can't tell you what he t[C]old me
But it was a l[Dm]ie
Verse:
When [Dm]I came to in Amsterdam
The hotel showed a movie
With [C]Marlon Brando and his friend Pac[Dm]ino
Well [Dm]I thought that this is nice
And I'm sure I can relax now
But [C]suddenly the room was full of [Dm]demons
[F]I escaped through the [Dm]window
[F]Almost ran a mile aw[Dm]ay
[F]I had nowhere to [Dm]go
So I [A]cried and I begged for mercy
And I talked to god on the telephone
Chorus:
But I [F]really can't tell you what he [C]told me
But it was a l[Dm]ie
No I r[F]eally can't tell you what he t[C]old me
But it was a [Dm]liiie
Solo
Bridge:
But [Gm]nothing seems to matter
In this [Dm]lonesome dirty town
But [A]for a short brief moment
I [Dm]thought she was the [D7]one
And [Gm]she and I were fighting
About [Dm]sex, love and TV
That's [A]why I had to get down and talk
To god on the telephone
Chorus:
But I [F]really can't tell you what he [C]told me
But it was a l[Dm]ie
No I r[F]eally can't tell you what he t[C]old me
But it was a [Dm]li-i-ie
End.
