Amsterdam Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][G][Am]
[G][Am]

[Verse 1]
[Am]I was
down in Amsterdam
Almost hurt myself to death
I [G]pushed myself so hard just
like the red[Am]light girls
Well I cried and stopped to smile
I thought my career is over
And [G]the dealer boys they
had to bring me water
[Am]

[Verse 2]
[C]I stumbled over m[Am]ountains
[C]And the shadows of the [Am]street
[C]I fell into the r[Am]iver
[E]I cried and begged for mercy
And I talked to God on the telephone

[Verse 3]
But I [F]really can't tell you what [G]he told me
But it was [Am]a lie
No I [F]really can't tell you what [G]he told me
But it was a lie
[Am]

[Verse 4]
When I came to in Amsterdam
The hotel showed a movie
With [G]Marlon Brando and
his [Am]friend Pacino
Well I thought that this is nice
And I'm sure I can relax now
But [G]suddenly the room was full of demons
[Am]

[Verse 5]
[C]I escaped through the w[Am]indow
[C]Almost ran a mile [Am]away
[C]I had nowhere to g[Am]o
So I [E]cried and begged for mercy
And I talked to God on the telephone

[Verse 6]
But I [F]really can't tell you what [G]he told me
But it was [Am]a lie
No I [F]really can't tell you what [G]he told me

[Interlude 1]
But it was a lie
[Am][C][G][C]
[Am][C][G]
[Am][A]
[Am]But

[Verse 7]
[Dm]nothing seems to matter
In this [Am]lonesome dirty town
But [E]for a short brief moment
I [Am]thought she was the [A]one
[Am]And [Dm]she and I were fighting
About [Am]sex, love and TV
That's [E]why I had to get down
And talk to God on the telephone

[Verse 8]
But I [F]really can't tell you what [G]he told me
But it was a [Am]lie
No I [F]really can't tell you what he told [G]me
But it was a [Am]lie
