I thAmrew a rose to the matador, not sFure who I was cheering for, My aGim was true, my heart was full, I loFved the fighter... and the bull, I loAmved like only a woman can, F a very complicated man, I boGund his wounds, I heard his cries, I gaFve him truth, I told him lies!
[Verse 2] Am F Am F | / / / / | / / / / | / / / / | / / / / |
His rAmage is made of many things, F faithless women, wedding rings, SnGakes and snails and alcohol, His daFddy's fist thrown through the wall, Ah, but he's beaAmutiful when he's in the ring, The deFvil howls, the angels sing, SpGarks fly from his fingertips, And woFrds, like birds, fly from his lips!
[Bridge]
Some mFan is lying in the dirt, some woGman's crying that he's hurt, But he's nFot alive without the thrill, With - oGut the dance, without the kill, Gsus4 G The liFghts go down, the people roar, They're cheGering on the matador, And tFhis is how the story goes, I kGnew it when I threw the rAmose! F
[Verse 3] Am F | / / / / | / / / / |
I cAmome to each and every show, the woFman in the second row, I waGtch them in their ancient dance, And I kFnow I never stood a chance, 'Cause while oAmther demons prance and clown, F It's vanity that takes you down, I thoGught that I could be the one, but I'm jFust another hanger-on!
[Verse 4]
Some mFan is bleeding in the dirt, Some woGman's crying that she's hurt, But wFho are we without the thrill, With - oGut the dance, without the kill? Gsus4 G And Fhe is bull and matador, and IG'm the mother and the whore, And tFhis is how the story goes, I kGnew it when I threw Am ...the rose! F
[Coda] Am F | / / / / | / / / / |
I thAmrew a rose to the matador, not sFure who I was cheering for, My aGim was true, my heart was full, I loFved the fighter and the bull!
