Intro

Verse

I was down in Amsterdam

Almost hurt myself to death

I pushed myself so hard

Just like the redlight girls

Well I cried and stopped to smile

I thought that my career was over

And the dealer boys they had to bring me water

I stumbled over mountains

And the shadows of the street

I fell into the river

I cried and and begged for mercy

And i talked to god on the telephone

Chorus

But I really can't tell you what he told me

But it was a lie

No I really can't tell you what he told me

But it was a lie

Verse

When I came to in Amsterdam

The hotel showed a movie

With Marlon Brando and his friend Pacino

Well I thought that this is nice

And I'm sure I can relax now

But suddenly the room was full of demons

I escaped through the window

Almost ran a mile away

I had nowhere to go

So I cried and and begged for mercy

And I talked to god on the telephone

Chorus

But I really can't tell you what he told me

But it was a lie

No I really can't tell you what he told me

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

But nothing seems to matter

In this lonesome dirty town

But for a short brief moment

I thought she was the one

And she and I were fighting

About sex, love and TV

That's why I had to get down and talk

To god on the telephone

Chorus

But I really can't tell you what he told me

But it was a lie

No I really can't tell you what he told me

But it was a lie

take it easy
