Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
I  was down in Amsterdam
 Almost hurt myself to death
I  pushed myself so hard
 Just like the redlight  girls
 Well I  cried and stopped to smile
 I thought that my career was over
And  the dealer boys they had to bring me water
I  stumbled over mountains
And  the shadows of the street
I  fell into the river
I  cried and and begged for mercy
 And i talked to god on the telephone
But  I really can't tell you what he told  me
 But it was a lie
No  I really can't tell you what he told  me
 But it was a lie
When  I came to in Amsterdam
 The hotel showed a movie
 With Marlon  Brando and his friend Pacino
 Well I  thought that this is nice
 And I'm sure I can relax now
 But suddenly  the room was full of demons
I  escaped through the window
Almost  ran a mile away
I  had nowhere to go
So  I cried and and begged for mercy
 And I talked to god on the telephone
But  I really can't tell you what he told  me
 But it was a lie
No  I really can't tell you what he told  me
 But it was a lie
 change between Dm and F, start on Dm, and as the solo ends, the last Dm changes to D7
But  nothing seems to matter
 In this lonesome  dirty town
 But for a short  brief moment
 I thought  she was the one
 And she  and I were fighting
 About sex,  love and TV
That's  why I had to get down and talk
 To god on the telephone
But  I really can't tell you what he told  me
 But it was a lie
No  I really can't tell you what he told  me
 But it was a lie
 take it easy
