[Verse 1]
GOrder an Old FaBmshioned with a spClash of Grand MarnierD
GI'll be there iBmn ten minutes if yCou'll stay D
EmI don't wannaBm argue, but I gotCta tell you sGtraight
CAnd better if it happens face to Dface
GThey're lookin' for you, brBmother, They keep stCopping by the houDse
GThey're waiting at my wBmork when I get oCut D
EmWhat do you think would Bmhappen if they'd Cfollowed me hereG now
CDo you really think they'd let itD go
AmWell judging by your silence, the answer'D7s no
[Chorus]
CIt's not true, MaDtthew
GNo it's nothing like Embefore
CThey know exactly wDhere you're gonna bGe
CIn that presidential Dsuite up on the G37tDh floCor
AmWith your feet propped up, watchin' theD TV
AmWith a tray of food you're never gonna Deat
AmAnd some shit excuse that no one would beDlieve
In that eFmpty hoAmtel by Dthe sGea

GNow when it's oBmver I'll be talCkin' to your gravDe
GYou might as weBmll hear what I'll sayC D
EmI can't forgiveBm you, and I'll neCver sing your prGaise
CWhy'd you always have to get your wDay
GNow you're a legBmend to those sicCk NeanderthalsD
GThe ones who couBmnt the bullet hoCles D
EmCan't help adBmmiring the sCplatter on the Gwall
CLike cherry blossoms in the sprDing
AmOh, it's a thing of beauty 'til it gets clD7eaned
[Chorus]
CIt's not true, MaDtthew
GNo it's nothing like Embefore
CThey know exactly wDhere you're gonna bGe
CIn that presidential sDuite up on the G37Dth fCloor

AmWhile your rental car's on fire in the strDeet

In that emFpty hAmotel bDy theG sea

GNo it's nothing like beEmfore
CThey know exactly wheDre you're bound to Gbe
CIn that presidential sDuite up on the G37Dth flCoor
AmWith your fingers broken, pickin' up your tDeeth
AmWith the realization you were in too deDep
AmWith some final words that no one will rDepeat
AmWhile the snow's still fallin' softly on the bDeach
In that eFmpty hoAmtel Dby tGhe sea
