Verse 1

Em 
C 
I
Em 
threw a rose to the matador,
C 
not sure who I was cheering for
Dsus4 
D 
My aim was true, my heart 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

Verse 2
C 
Em 
His 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
Em 
Ah, but he's beautiful when he's in the ring,
C 
the devil howls, the angels sing
D 
C 
Sparks fly from his fingertips and
words like birds fly from his lips

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

Verse 4
C 
Em 
I come to each and every show,
C 
the woman in the second row
D 
I 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
D 
I thought that I could be the one
C 
but I'm just another hanger- on

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