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
