C Am G G


[Verse]

C               Am              G               F/C
Cars by the water, water that makes this place stand still
C               Am              G               G
Looks like they're thinking, thinking of jumping
C               Am              G               F/C
I wake to the church bells playing those funky tunes, hey jude
C               Am              G               G
Up in the tower, carillonneurs thumping


[Chorus]

C               G               Am              F/C
I'm trying to love you but you treat me like a hotel
C               G               Am              G
You're coming and going, but you never say where
C               G               Am              F/C
I'm trying to love you, but I see your heart is elsewhere
C       G       C 
Amsterdam says goodnight


[Verse]

C               Am              G               F/C
I'm dragging my suitcase through Chinatown and the Zeedijk
C               Am              G               G
The racket it's making banging a tourist
C               Am              G               F/C
Now this is my home, Though these roots will only ever be so long
C               Am              G               G
It is what it is


[Chorus]

C               G               Am              F/C
I'm trying to love you but you treat me like a hotel
C               G               Am              G
You're coming and going, but you never say where
C               G               Am              F/C
I'm trying to love you, but I see your heart is elsewhere
C       G       C 
Amsterdam says goodnight


[Outro]

C               G               Am              F/C
I'm trying to love you but you treat me like a hotel
C               G               Am              G
You're coming and going, but you never say where
C               G               Am              F/C
I'm trying to love you, but I see your heart is elsewhere
C               G               Am              G
Amsterdam says, with steel in her voice
C               G               Am              F/C
"I may seem rude to you but I prefer to hear it straight
C               G               Am              G
And not have to wade through the bullshit between the lines
C               G               Am              F/C
I know I'm beautiful, and I shouldn't work, but I do
C               G               C
And I can do better than you."
