Verse 1
(E minor) (Csus2) (C major) (E minor) (Csus2) (C major) I threw
(E minor) a rose to the matador,
not sure (Csus2) who I was cheering for
My (D major) aim was true, my heart was full,
I (Csus2) loved the fighter and the bull
(G major) I loved (E minor) like only a woman can,
(Csus2) a very complicated man
I bound (D major) his wounds, I heard his cries, I (Csus2) gave him truth,
I told him (E minor) lies
(Csus2) (C major) (E minor)
Verse 2
(C major)
His (E minor) rage is made of many (Csus2) things: faithless women,
wedding rings
Snakes (D major) and snails and alcohol,
his (Csus2) daddy's fist thrown through the wall
Ah (C major) but he's (E minor) beautiful when he's in the ring,
the (Csus2) devil howls, the angels sing
Sparks (D major) fly from his fingertips and word
(Csus2) s like birds fly (C major) from his lips

Verse 3
Some (C major) man is lyin' in the dirt
Some (D major) woman's crying
that he's hurt
But he's (C major) not alive without the thrill
(D major) Without the dance, without the kill
The light (C major) s go down, the people roar
They're (D major) cheering on the matador
An (C major) d this is how the story goes
(D major) I knew it when I threw (E minor) the rose
(C major) (E minor)
Verse 4
(C major)
I (E minor) come to each and every show; (C major) the
woman (Csus2) in the second row
I watch (D major) them in their ancient dance and I
(Csus2) know I never stood a chance
Cause while (E minor) other demons prance and clown,
(C major) it's van (Csus2) ity that takes you down
I (D major) thought that I could be the one,
but I'm (Csus2) just another hanger (C major) - on (Csus2)
Verse 5
Some (C major) man is bleedin' in the dirt
Some (D major) woman's crying that she's hurt
But (C major) who are we without the thrill
(D major) Without the dance, without the kill
And (C major) he is bull and matador
And (D major) I'm the mother and the whore
An (C major) d this is how the story goes
(D major) I knew it when I threw (E minor)
the rose
(C major) (E minor)
Verse 6
(C major)
I threw (E minor) a rose to the matador,
not (C major) sure who (Csus2) I was cheering for
My (D major) aim was true, my heart was (Csus2) full; I loved
