Verse 1:
A augmentedA       E MajorE        D MajorD          E MajorE
Order an Old Fashioned with a splash of Grand Marnier
A augmentedA       E MajorE        D MajorD      E MajorE
I'll be there in ten minutes if you'll stay
F# minorF#m      C# minorC#m        D MajorD      A augmentedA
I don't wanna argue, but I gotta tell you straight
D MajorD                E MajorE
And better if it happens face to face

A augmentedA               E MajorE        D MajorD        E MajorE
They're lookin' for you, brother, They keep stopping by the house
A augmentedA           E MajorE        D MajorD   E MajorE
They're waiting at my work when I get out
F# minorF#m           C# minorC#m        D MajorD        A augmentedA
What do you think would happen if they'd followed me here now
D MajorD                E MajorE
Do you really think they'd let it go
B minorBm                    E7E7
Well judging by your silence, the answer's no

Chorus:
D MajorD        E MajorE
It's not true, Matthew
A augmentedA          F# minorF#m
No it's nothing like before
D MajorD         E MajorE         A augmentedA
They know exactly where you're gonna be
D MajorD          E MajorE        A augmentedA E MajorE  D MajorD
In that presidential suite up on the 37th floor
B minorBm                   E MajorE
With your feet propped up, watchin' the TV
B minorBm                   E MajorE
With a tray of food you're never gonna eat
B minorBm                    E MajorE
And some sh*t excuse that no one would believe
    G+G   B minorBm   E MajorE  A augmentedA
In that empty hotel by the sea

Verse 2:
A augmentedA       E MajorE       D MajorD        E MajorE
Now when it's over I'll be talkin' to your grave
A augmentedA       E MajorE          D MajorD    E MajorE
You might as well hear what I'll say
F# minorF#m       C# minorC#m        D MajorD        A augmentedA
I can't forgive you, and I'll never sing your praise
D MajorD                 E MajorE
Why'd you always have to get your way

A augmentedA        E MajorE       D MajorD       E MajorE
Now you're a 🏷Legend to those sick Neanderthals
A augmentedA        E MajorE       D MajorD    E MajorE
The ones who count the bullet holes
F# minorF#m      C# minorC#m     D MajorD       A augmentedA
Can't help admiring the splatter on the wall
D MajorD               E MajorE
Like cherry blossoms in the spring
B minorBm                    E7E7
Oh, it's a thing of beauty 'til it gets cleaned

It's not true, Matthew
A augmentedA          F# minorF#m
No it's nothing like before
D MajorD         E MajorE         A augmentedA
They know exactly where you're gonna be
D MajorD           E MajorE       A augmentedA E MajorE  D MajorD
In that presidential suite up on the 37th floor
B minorBm                   E MajorE
With a blindfold on, tryin' to fall asleep
B minorBm                    E MajorE
While your rental car's on fire in the street
B minorBm                     E MajorE
And the snowflakes falling softly on the beach
     G+G  B minorBm  E MajorE  A augmentedA
In that empty hotel by the sea

Oh, it's, it's not true, Matthew
A augmentedA           F# minorF#m
No it's nothing like before
D MajorD          E MajorE         A augmentedA
They know exactly where you're bound to be
D MajorD           E MajorE       A augmentedA E MajorE  D MajorD
In that presidential suite up on the 37th floor
B minorBm                     E MajorE
With your fingers broken, pickin' up your teeth
B minorBm                   E MajorE
With the realization you were in too deep
B minorBm                   E MajorE
With some final words that no one will repeat
B minorBm                      E MajorE
While the snow's still fallin' softly on the beach
     G+G   B minorBm E MajorE  A augmentedA
In that empty hotel by the sea
