Intro:
G+G   F# minorF#m  A minorAm  D MajorD G+G


Verse 1:
G+G
It wasn't me, I wasn't there
      F# minorF#m          A minorAm
I was just watchin' from over here
             D MajorD      G+G
And besides, I couldn't afford the bus fare
G+G
In Hollywood and Washington
   A minorAm                F# minorF#m
They shake and smile through the harm they've done
  A minorAm              D MajorD       G+G    D MajorD G+G
But it's your little red wagon and you've gotta pull it

Chorus:
      A minorAm      C majorC
It'll take a lifetime to clear your name
     G+G           A minorAm        C majorC  D MajorD
Under the bridges of fame, it's always nighttime


Verse 2:
     G+G
It wasn't me, I wasn't there
   A minorAm
I was stone-drunk, it isn't clear
               D MajorD      G+G
And it doesn't count, 'cause I don't care

The years transform my memories
        F# minorF#m  A minorAm
Of all the countless decades of greed
           D MajorD    G+G
It was cut and run in ninethy-one


Chorus:
    A minorAm           C majorC
Put yourselves in a straight-jacket
       G+G    D MajorD      A minorAm      C majorC   G+G  D MajorD
But when you plead insane, it's no cheaper than humiliation
      G+G
That's free
    A minorAm
That's free
      D MajorD  G+G    A minorAm  D MajorD  A minorAm  D MajorD  G+G
That's free

Verse 3:
G+G
I've gone and quit my worshippin'
       A minorAm
Of the false gods and golden sins
                     D MajorD
'Cause we made love in the Tower of Babel
        G+G
And it fell down


Verse 4:
G+G
It wasn't me, I wasn't there
       A minorAm
That was not my love affair
               D MajorD  G+G       D MajorD G+G
That is not my lover, that's not even my friend
G+G
It wasn't me, I wasn't there
   A minorAm
I was stone-drunk, it isn't clear
               D MajorD G+G     D MajorD G+G
And it doesn't count, 'cause I don't care


Outro:
       A minorAm      C majorC
But I'll use a pop song to clear my name
     G+G           A minorAm
Under the bridges of fame, it's always nighttime
   C majorC        D MajorD         G+G
I'll end with a closer and say goodnight
