[Verse 1]
A E D E
Order an Old Fashioned with a splash of Grand Marnier
A E D E
I'll be there in ten minutes if you'll stay
F#m C#m D A
I don't wanna argue, but I gotta tell you straight
D E
And better if it happens face to face
A E D E
They're lookin' for you, brother, They keep stopping by the house
A E D E
They're waiting at my work when I get out
F#m C#m D A
What do you think would happen if they'd followed me here now
D E
Do you really think they'd let it go
Bm E7
Well judging by your silence, the answer's no
[Chorus]
D E
It's not true, Matthew
A F#m
No it's nothing like before
D E A
They know exactly where you're gonna be
D E A E D
In that presidential suite up on the 37th floor
Bm E
With your feet propped up, watchin' the TV
Bm E
With a tray of food you're never gonna eat
Bm E
And some shit excuse that no one would believe
G Bm E A
In that empty hotel by the sea
[Harmonica]
A E D E
A E D E
[Verse 2]
A E D E
Now when it's over I'll be talkin' to your grave
A E D E
You might as well hear what I'll say
F#m C#m D A
I can't forgive you, and I'll never sing your praise
D E
Why'd you always have to get your way
A E D E
Now you're a legend to those sick Neanderthals
A E D E
The ones who count the bullet holes
F#m C#m D A
Can't help admiring the splatter on the wall
D E
Like cherry blossoms in the spring
Bm E7
Oh, it's a thing of beauty 'til it gets cleaned
[Chorus]
D E
It's not true, Matthew
A F#m
No it's nothing like before
D E A
They know exactly where you're gonna be
D E A E D
In that presidential suite up on the 37th floor
Bm E
With a blindfold on, tryin' to fall asleep
Bm E
While your rental car's on fire in the street
Bm E
And the snowflakes falling softly on the beach
G Bm E A
In that empty hotel by the sea
[Solo]
A E D E

F#m C#m D A
D E7
[Chorus]
D E
Oh, it's, it's not true, Matthew
A F#m
No it's nothing like before
D E A
They know exactly where you're bound to be
D E A E D
In that presidential suite up on the 37th floor
Bm E
With your fingers broken, pickin' up your teeth
Bm E
With the realization you were in too deep
Bm E
With some final words that no one will repeat
Bm E
While the snow's still fallin' softly on the beach
G Bm E A
In that empty hotel by the sea
