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
