This is the progression for most of the song

It wasn't me, I wasn't there

I was just watching from over here

Am D G D G

And besides, I couldn't afford the bus fare

In Hollywood and Washington

They shake and smile through the harm they've done

But it's your little red wagon and you gotta pull it

G#dim Am C

It'll take a lifetime to clear your name

G G/F# Am C D

Under the bridges of fame it's always nighttime

It wasn't me, I wasn't there

I was stone drunk, it isn't clear

And it doesn't count cause I don't care

The years transform my memories

Of all the countless decades of grief

It was cut and run in '91

G#dim Am C

Put yourselves in a straightjacket

G G/F#

But when you plead insane

Am C

It's no cheaper than humiliation

That's free...

That's free...

I've gone and quit my worshipping

Of the false gods and golden sins

Am D G D G

Cause we've made love in the Tower of Babel and it fell down

It wasn't me, I wasn't there

That was not my love affair

That is not my lover, that's not even my friend

It wasn't me, I wasn't there

I was stone drunk, it isn't clear

And it doesn't count cause I don't care

Am C

But I use a pop song to clear my name

G F#/G Am

Under the bridges of fame it's always nighttime

I'll end with a closure and say goodnight
