[Verse 1]
AOrder an Old FaEshioned with a spDlash of Grand MarnierE
AI'll be there iEn ten minutes if Dyou'll stay E
F#mI don't wanna C#margue, but I gottaD tell you strAaight
DAnd better if it happens face to Eface
AThey're lookin' for you, brothEer, They keep stoDpping by the housEe
AThey're waiting at my wEork when I get ouDt E
F#mWhat do you think would hC#mappen if they'd foDllowed me here nAow
DDo you really think they'd let itE go
BmWell judging by your silence, the answer'E7s no
[Chorus]
DIt's not true, MaEtthew
ANo it's nothing like F#mbefore
DThey know exactly wEhere you're gonna bAe
DIn that presidential Esuite up on the A37tEh floDor
BmWith your feet propped up, watchin' theE TV
BmWith a tray of food you're never gonna Eeat
BmAnd some shit excuse that no one would beElieve
In that Gempty hBmotel byE the Asea

[Verse 2]
ANow when it's oEver I'll be talDkin' to your gravEe
AYou might as weEll hear what I'll saDy E
F#mI can't forgive C#myou, and I'll neveDr sing your praiAse
DWhy'd you always have to get your wEay
ANow you're a legEend to those siDck NeanderthalEs
AThe ones who couEnt the bullet hDoles E
F#mCan't help admC#miring the splDatter on the waAll
DLike cherry blossoms in the sprEing
BmOh, it's a thing of beauty 'til it gets clE7eaned
[Chorus]
DIt's not true, MaEtthew
ANo it's nothing like F#mbefore
DThey know exactly wEhere you're gonna bAe
DIn that presidential sEuite up on the A37Eth fDloor
BmWith a blindfold on, tryin' to fall aslEeep
BmWhile your rental car's on fire in the strEeet
BmAnd the snowflakes falling softly on the beEach
In that emGpty hBmotel bEy theA sea

[Chorus]
DOh, it's, it's not true, MaEtthew
ANo it's nothing like beF#mfore
DThey know exactly wheEre you're bound to Abe
DIn that presidential sEuite up on the A37Eth flDoor
BmWith your fingers broken, pickin' up your tEeeth
BmWith the realization you were in too deEep
BmWith some final words that no one will rEepeat
BmWhile the snow's still fallin' softly on the bEeach
In that eGmpty hoBmtel Eby tAhe sea
