Intro: D5 C5 D5 C5


Verse:
D5
I was down in Amsterdam

Almost hurt myself to death
C5
I pushed myself so hard
              D5
Just like the redlight girls
     D5
Well I cried and stopped to smile

I thought that my career was over
C5                                        D5
And the dealer boys they had to bring me water


F5               D5
I stumbled over mountains
F5                      D5
And the shadows of the street
F5               D5
I fell into the river
A5
I cried and and begged for mercy

And i talked to god on the telephone

Chorus
Bb5                                  C5
But I really can't tell you what he told me
               D5
But it was a lie
Bb5                                 C5
No I really can't tell you what he told me
               D5
But it was a lie

Verse:
D5
When I came to in Amsterdam

The hotel showed a movie
     C5                              D5
With Marlon Brando and his friend Pacino
     D5
Well I thought that this is nice

And I'm sure I can relax now
    C5                             D5
But suddenly the room was full of demons
F5                     D5
I escaped through the window
F5                 D5
Almost ran a mile away
F5                D5
I had nowhere to go
A5
So I cried and and begged for mercy

And I talked to god on the telephone

Chorus
Bb5                                  C5
But I really can't tell you what he told me
               D5
But it was a lie
Bb5                                 C5
No I really can't tell you what he told me
               D5
But it was a lie

Solo:
change between D5 and F5 , start on D5 , and as the solo ends, the last D5 changes to D5


Bridge
Bb5
But nothing seems to matter
        D5
In this lonesome dirty town
          A5
But for a short brief moment
  D5                    D5
I thought she was the one
    Bb5
And she and I were fighting
      D5
About sex, love and TV
A5
That's why I had to get down and talk

To god on the telephone

Chorus
Bb5                                  C5
But I really can't tell you what he told me
               D5
But it was a lie
Bb5                                 C5
No I really can't tell you what he told me
               D5
But it was a lie
