Biography:
The Living End formed in 1994 after lead singer/guitarist Chris Cheney and bassist Scott Owen were introduced to each other by their older sisters at Wheelers Hill Secondary College in Melbourne, Australia. Cheney, obsessed with 80s rockabilly group the Stray Cats, convinced Owen to learn the double bass instead of the piano and they started playing gigs under the name Runaway Boys after the title of a Stray Cats song. The group went through a succession of drummers before settling on Joe Piripitzi.

F Em F Em
[VERSE 1]
F Em
Where in the world did you run to?
F Em
Will you ever come back?
F Em
Sometimes I forget you
Dm G
But I'm alright with that
F Em
Words of love unspoken
F Em
Wrongs that should've been put right
F Em
Early arrival Saturday morning
Dm G
But you checked out Friday night
[CHORUS]
F Em
Oh Amsterdam
Am G F Em
I don't know who I am
Am G F Em
Or where I stand Oh Amsterdam
Am Em
You'll never have that time again
F Em Am
But now I'm, I'm never going back to Amsterdam
[VERSE 2]
F Em
I put all that I had on a losing horse
F Em
Should've backed myself instead
F Em
And I'm always the first one to point my finger
Dm G
And the last one to make my bed
[CHORUS]
F Em
Oh Amsterdam
Am G F Em
I don't know who I am
Am G F Em
Or where I stand Oh Amsterdam
Am Em
You'll never have that time again
F Em Am Em
But now I'm, I'm never going back to Amsterdam
F Em Am G
And I'm never going back to Amsterdam
