G
It wasn't me, I wasn't there
A
I was just watching from over here
Am D G D G
And besides, I couldn't afford the bus fare
In Hollywood and Washington
They shake and smile through the harm they've done
But it's your little red wagon and you gotta pull it
G#dim Am C
It'll take a lifetime to clear your name
G G/F# Am C D
Under the bridges of fame it's always nighttime
It wasn't me, I wasn't there
I was stone drunk, it isn't clear
And it doesn't count cause I don't care
The years transform my memories
Of all the countless decades of grief
It was cut and run in '91
G#dim Am C
Put yourselves in a straightjacket
G G/F#
But when you plead insane
Am C
It's no cheaper than humiliation
D
That's free...
G Am
That's free...
C D
That's free...
G
I've gone and quit my worshipping
A
Of the false gods and golden sins
Am D G D G
Cause we've made love in the Tower of Babel and it fell down
It wasn't me, I wasn't there
That was not my love affair
That is not my lover, that's not even my friend
It wasn't me, I wasn't there
I was stone drunk, it isn't clear
And it doesn't count cause I don't care
Am C
But I use a pop song to clear my name
G F#/G Am
Under the bridges of fame it's always nighttime
C D G
I'll end with a closure and say goodnight
