I [Em] threw a rose to the matador Not sure who I was cheering for
[D] My aim was true, my heart was full [G] I loved the fighter and the bull
[Em] I love like only a woman can [C] A very complicated man
I found his wounds, I heard his cries I gave [G] him truth, I told him lies
[Em]
[Em]
[D] [C] [A]
His rage is made of many [G] things Faithless women, wedding [D] rings
Snakes and snails and alcohol [C] His daddy's fist thrown through the wall
Oh, but [Em] he's beautiful when he's in the ring [C] The devil howls, the angels [D] sing
Sparks fly from his fingertips [G] And words like birds fly from his [D] lips
[C] Some man is lying in the dirt [D] Some woman's crying that he's hurt
[C]
He's not alive without the thrill [D] Without the dance, without the kill
The [C] lights go down, the people roar [D] They're cheering on Matador
[C] And this is how the story goes [D] I knew it when I threw
[Em] the roll

[F#] [C]
[Em] I come to each and every show [G] The woman in the second row
[D] I watch them in their ancient dance And I [C] know I never [G] stood a chance
Cause [Em] while other demons prance and clown [C]
It's vanity that takes you down
[D] I thought that I could be the one But [G] I'm just another hanger on
[C] Some man is bleeding in the dirt Some [D]
woman's crying that she's hurt
[C] But who are we without the thrill [D]
Without the dance, without the kill
And he [C] is Matador And I'm the mother and the whore
[Am] And this [D] is how the story goes [D] I knew it when I threw
