[Verse 1]
           A       E       F#m             D
It took a lost weekend in a Hotel in Amsterdam
      A          E         F#m    D
And a double pneumonia in a single room
        A       E           F#m           D
And the sickest joke was the price of the medicine
        A              E
Are you laughing at me now,
       F#m                    D
May I please laugh along with you

[Verse 2]
        A      E            F#m          D
This morning I woke, from a deep unquiet sleep
     A       E                F#m            D 
With ashtray clothes and miss lonely heart's pen
           A       E                   F#m               D
With which I wrote for you a love song in tattoo upon my palm
      A           E       F#m           D
'twas stolen from me when Jesus took my hand
[Chorus] (w/Riff 1)
        A   E  F#m       D              A               E
You see,I....    I wouldn't say it if I didn't mean it
F#m          D            A   E   F#m          D
  drop me and I'll fall to pie-ces     so  easily
[Pre-Verse]
A  E  F# D  x2 (w/ Riff 1 and Riff 2)
[Verse 3]
      A      E                F#m         D
I was a king bee, with a head full of attitude
     A        E            F#m    D
Wore my heart on my sleeve like a stain
       A       E                 F#m                  D
and my aim was taboo - you could remain in the market place
      A        E          F#m        D
did I ever hey please did you woo my knees
[Chorus] (w/Riff 1)
        A   E  F#m       D              A               E
You see,I....    I wouldn't say it if I didn't mean it
F#m          D            A   E       F#m    D
  drop me and I'll fall to pie-ces yea too  easily
[Interlude]
        C              D
there's nobody esle to blame
        C                 D
Will I  hang my head in a crying shame
        C               D
There's nobody else to blame
C                  D               A (into solo progression)
Nobody else except my sweet self a-gain
[Guitar Solo] (A E F#m D x4) (First A on the gain from again)

[Verse 4]
           A       E       F#m             D
It took a lost weekend in a Hotel in Amsterdam
      A          E         F#m    D
And a double pneumonia in a single room
        A       E           F#m           D
And the sickest joke was the price of the medicine
        A              E
Are you laughing at me now,
       F#m                    D
May I please laugh along with you
[Interlude] (w/Riff 1 and Riff 2)
[Verse 5]
      A      E                F#m         D
I was a king bee, with a head full of attitude
    A      E           F#m            D
And astray heart on my sleeve wounded knees
       A        E          F#m            D
And my one love song was a tattoo upon my palm
    A          E       F#m         D
You wrote upon me when you took my hand
[Out Chorus]
        A   E  F#m
You see I
           D           A           E
I wouldn't say it if I didn't mean it
F#m         D            A     E   F#m          D
Drop me and I'll fall to pieces
F#m      D  A  E
Too easily
F#m      D  A  E
Too easily
F#m      D  A  E
Too easily
[Outro]
