The Matador

Lời bài hát kèm hợp âm cùng dòng

[Verse 1]
[Em]I[C][Em][C]
[Em]threw a rose to the matador,
not [C]sure who I was cheering for
[Dsus4]My aim was true, my hea[D]rt was full,
[C]I loved the fighter and the bull
[Em]I loved like only a woman can,
[C]a very complicated man
[D]I bound his wounds, I heard his cries,
[C]I gave him truth, I told him lies
[Em][C][Em]

[Verse 2]
[C]
His [Em]rage is made of many things,
[C]faithless women, wedding rings
[D]Snakes and snails and alcohol,
[C]his daddy's fist thrown through the wall
Ah, but he's [Em]beautiful when he's in the ring,
[C]the devil howls, the angels sing
[D]Sparks fly from his fingertips [C]and
words like birds fly from his lips

[Verse 3]
Some [C]man is lying in the dirt
Some [D]woman's crying
that he's hurt
[C]But he's not alive without the thrill
[D]Without the dance, without the kill
The light[C]s go down,
the people roar
They're [D]cheering on the matador
An[C]d this is how the story goes
[D]I knew it when I threw
[Em]the rose
[C][Em]

[Verse 4]
[C]
I [Em]come to each and every show,
[C]the woman in the second row
I [D]watch them in their ancient dance and
[C]I know I never stood a chance
[Em]'Cause while other demons prance and clown,
[C]it's vanity that takes you down
I [D]thought that I could be the one
but I'm [C]just another hanger- on

[Verse 5]
Some [C]man is bleeding in the dirt
Some [D]woman's crying that she's hurt
But [C]who are we without the thrill
[D]Without the dance, without the kill
And [C]he is bull and matador
[D]And I'm the mother and the whore
An[C]d this is how the story goes
I [D]knew it when I [Em]threw
the rose
[C][Em]

[Verse 6]
[C]
[Em]I threw a rose to the matador,
[C]not sure who I was cheering for
[D]My aim was true, my heart was full,
[C]I loved the fighter and the bull
