[B] We were waiting for Kirsten, [C#] me and Joel
Cause we found out [F#] the name [F#] of her [B] hotel
With a folk girl and an evening [C#] _ paper
In which she spelled out my name letter by _ letter
[B] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Well I grew up [C#] outside the _ city
[G#m] Where the local [F#] Estrella [E] chips [B] factory
Had paved a way to [C#] your grave and to your destiny
So [G#m] what can a suburban [F#] boy like me do [E] when she [C#] mentions me? _ _ _ _ _ _
[G#m] It's a compromise, [F#] a portion [E] of his [B] dignity
Another club, [C#] another beer, [B] another hour
Squint [G#m] at the clock [F#] up at the [E] church [B] tower
What you doing here [G#] you think?
I heard she's filming with [G#m] Pontry here
Hey Clara, how's [F#] your night?
Did you [E] know about Kirsten?
[B] Have you seen her?
She [C#m] says, yes she was here but [F#] she was turned away
[B] At the door
[D#m] _ _ [G#m] _ _ [F#] I [E] know, I [D#] know, I can't [F#] believe no one told her before
That [B] in Gothenburg we don't have [F#] VIP _ lines
[E] In [C#] Gothenburg we don't [F#] make up a fuss about who you are
[B] In Gothenburg we don't have [D#m] VIP _ lines
[E] Then I bit my [B] tongue [C#m] and the taste [E] of blood was [F#] so strong _ _ _ _
[B] As time kept [E] changing, _ Kirsten, [G#m] you're the elves [F#] slowly [E] _ [B] reversing
They turned a youth center into a casino
They [G#m] drew a [F#] swastika in your [E] _ [B] cappuccino
And the VIP lines are not [E] to the _ [B] clubs
[G#m] But to [F#] healthcare apartments [E] and [B] jobs
They thought you cannot borrow [E] five [B] grand
Cause [G#m] my dad's [F#] in chemo [E] and they wanna [B] take him up his slide
_ _ _ _ _ I said in Gothenburg we [F#] don't have VIP lines
I [E] said in [C#] Gothenburg you're not [F#] worthless and you're not worth anymore
I [B] said in Gothenburg we don't have [D#m] VIP _ lines
[E] Then I bit [B] my tongue [C#m] and the taste [E] of blood [F#] was so _ strong _ _ _ _

[F#] _ _ _ _ _ _ At [B] the end of the night me and _ Joelle
Went back and sat [B] outside her hotel
And drank beer [C#] after beer till the sun came up
And [G#m] since she didn't [F#] show up, Joelle [E] said I had to man up
And [G#m] write a note [F#] of affection and [E] leave it in the [B] reception
[G#m] And I wrote this [F#] confession with the lipstick from [B] his girlfriend
[E] On the back [F#] of her receipt
_ But _ _ the receptionist said I was drunk and asked me to [B] leave _ _ _ _
