Intro: Dm C Dm C Verse: Dm I was down in Amsterdam Almost hurt myself to death C I pushed myself so hard Dm Just like the redlight girls Dm Well I cried and stopped to smile I thought that my career was over C Dm And the dealer boys they had to bring me water F Dm I stumbled over mountains F Dm And the shadows of the street F Dm I fell into the river A I cried and and begged for mercy And i talked to god on the telephone Chorus Bb C But I really can't tell you what he told me Dm But it was a lie Bb C No I really can't tell you what he told me Dm But it was a lie Verse: Dm When I came to in Amsterdam The hotel showed a movie C Dm With Marlon Brando and his friend Pacino Dm Well I thought that this is nice And I'm sure I can relax now C Dm But suddenly the room was full of demons F Dm I escaped through the window F Dm Almost ran a mile away F Dm I had nowhere to go A So I cried and and begged for mercy And I talked to god on the telephone Chorus Bb C But I really can't tell you what he told me Dm But it was a lie Bb C No I really can't tell you what he told me Dm But it was a lie Solo: change between Dm and F , start on Dm , and as the solo ends, the last Dm changes to D7 Bridge Bb But nothing seems to matter Dm In this lonesome dirty town A But for a short brief moment Dm D7 I thought she was the one Bb And she and I were fighting Dm About sex, love and TV A That's why I had to get down and talk To god on the telephone Chorus Bb C But I really can't tell you what he told me Dm But it was a lie Bb C No I really can't tell you what he told me Dm But it was a lie take it easy
