I'll be there in ten minutes if you'll stay

And better if it happens face to face

They're lookin' for you, brother, They keep stopping by the house

They're waiting at my work when I get out
E minorEm           B minorBm        C majorC        G+G
What do you think would happen if they'd followed me here now
C majorC                D MajorD
Do you really think they'd let it go
A minorAm                    D7D7
Well judging by your silence, the answer's no

In that presidential suite up on the 37th floor
A minorAm                   D MajorD
With your feet propped up, watchin' the TV
A minorAm                   D MajorD
With a tray of food you're never gonna eat
A minorAm                    D MajorD
And some shit excuse that no one would believe
     FF   A minorAm   D MajorD  G+G
In that empty hotel by the sea

You might as well hear what I'll say
E minorEm       B minorBm        C majorC        G+G
I can't forgive you, and I'll never sing your praise

Why'd you always have to get your way

G+G        B minorBm       C majorC       D MajorD
Now you're a 🏷Legend to those sick Neanderthals
G+G        B minorBm       C majorC    D MajorD
The ones who count the bullet holes
E minorEm      B minorBm     C majorC       G+G
Can't help admiring the splatter on the wall
C majorC               D MajorD
Like cherry blossoms in the spring
A minorAm                    D7D7
Oh, it's a thing of beauty 'til it gets cleaned

They know exactly where you're gonna be
C majorC           D MajorD       G+G D MajorD  C majorC
In that presidential suite up on the 37th floor
A minorAm                   D MajorD
With a blindfold on, tryin' to fall asleep
A minorAm                    D MajorD
While your rental car's on fire in the street
A minorAm                     D MajorD
And the snowflakes falling softly on the beach
     FF  A minorAm  D MajorD  G+G
In that empty hotel by the sea

No it's nothing like before

They know exactly where you're bound to be
C majorC           D MajorD       G+G D MajorD  C majorC
In that presidential suite up on the 37th floor
A minorAm                     D MajorD
With your fingers broken, pickin' up your teeth
A minorAm                   D MajorD
With the realization you were in too deep
A minorAm                   D MajorD
With some final words that no one will repeat
A minorAm                      D MajorD
While the snow's still fallin' softly on the beach
     FF   A minorAm D MajorD  G+G
In that empty hotel by the sea
