Difficulty: Novice

Intro:
G   F#m  Am  D G


Verse 1:
G
It wasn't me, I wasn't there
      F#m          Am
I was just watchin' from over here
             D      G
And besides, I couldn't afford the bus fare
G

In Hollywood and Washington
   Am                F#m
They shake and smile through the harm they've done
  Am              D       G    D G
But it's your little red wagon and you've gotta pull it


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


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

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


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


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


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


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