[VERSE 1]
[A]Order an Old Fa[E]shioned with a sp[D]lash of Grand Marnier[E]
[A]I'll be there i[E]n ten minutes if [D]you'll stay [E]
[F#m]I don't wanna [C#m]argue, but I gotta[D] tell you str[A]aight
[D]And better if it happens face to [E]face
[A]They're lookin' for you, broth[E]er, They keep sto[D]pping by the hous[E]e
[A]They're waiting at my w[E]ork when I get ou[D]t [E]
[F#m]What do you think would h[C#m]appen if they'd fo[D]llowed me here n[A]ow
[D]Do you really think they'd let it[E] go
[Bm]Well judging by your silence, the answer'[E7]s no
[CHORUS]
[D]It's not true, Ma[E]tthew
[A]No it's nothing like [F#m]before
[D]They know exactly w[E]here you're gonna b[A]e
[D]In that presidential [E]suite up on the [A]37t[E]h flo[D]or
[Bm]With your feet propped up, watchin' the[E] TV
[Bm]With a tray of food you're never gonna [E]eat
[Bm]And some shit excuse that no one would be[E]lieve
In that [G]empty h[Bm]otel by[E] the [A]sea
[Harmonica]
[A] [E] [D] [E]
[A] [E] [D] [E]
[VERSE 2]
[A]Now when it's o[E]ver I'll be tal[D]kin' to your grav[E]e
[A]You might as we[E]ll hear what I'll sa[D]y [E]
[F#m]I can't forgive [C#m]you, and I'll neve[D]r sing your prai[A]se
[D]Why'd you always have to get your w[E]ay
[A]Now you're a leg[E]end to those si[D]ck Neanderthal[E]s
[A]The ones who cou[E]nt the bullet h[D]oles [E]
[F#m]Can't help adm[C#m]iring the spl[D]atter on the wa[A]ll
[D]Like cherry blossoms in the spr[E]ing
[Bm]Oh, it's a thing of beauty 'til it gets cl[E7]eaned
[CHORUS]
[D]It's not true, Ma[E]tthew
[A]No it's nothing like [F#m]before
[D]They know exactly w[E]here you're gonna b[A]e
[D]In that presidential s[E]uite up on the [A]37[E]th f[D]loor
[Bm]With a blindfold on, tryin' to fall asl[E]eep
[Bm]While your rental car's on fire in the str[E]eet
[Bm]And the snowflakes falling softly on the be[E]ach
In that em[G]pty h[Bm]otel b[E]y the[A] sea
[SOLO]

[CHORUS]
[D]Oh, it's, it's not true, Ma[E]tthew
[A]No it's nothing like be[F#m]fore
[D]They know exactly whe[E]re you're bound to [A]be
[D]In that presidential s[E]uite up on the [A]37[E]th fl[D]oor
[Bm]With your fingers broken, pickin' up your t[E]eeth
[Bm]With the realization you were in too de[E]ep
[Bm]With some final words that no one will r[E]epeat
[Bm]While the snow's still fallin' softly on the b[E]each
In that e[G]mpty ho[Bm]tel [E]by t[A]he sea
[OUTRO]
