L.A. Song

Key: GHard

Cmaj7

She hangs around thGe boulevard Bm

She's a locaAml girl with local scCars

She got home late, sGhe got home late Bm

She draAmnk so hard the bottle Cached

And she trieGd and she tried, and she tried and shBme tried

But noAmthing's clear in a bar fuCll of flies

So she takeGs and she takes, she takes and she tBmakes

She undAmerstands when she gives it awaCy

She says, man I Ggotta get out of thisC town D

GMan I gotta get out ofC this pain D

GMan I gotta get out ofC this town D

COut of this town, and outD of L.A. G

BmAmC

She's gotta gun, she's gotta a gun

She gotta gun she call the lucky one

She left a note up by the phone

Don't leave a message cause this ain't no home

And she cried and she cried, and she cried and she cried

She cried so long her tears ran dry

And she laughed and she laughed, she laughed and she laughed

Cause she knew she was never comin' back

She said, man I'm gonna get out of this town

Man I'm gonna get out of this pain

Man I'm gonna get out of this town

Out of this town, and out of L.A.

It's all she loveEms, it's all she hates Em

It's all too much for her to take Cmaj7

She can't be sure just where it ends

Or where the good life begins

So she took a train, she took a train

To a little old town without a name

She met a man, he took her in

But fed her all the same bullshit, again

Cause he lied and he lied, and he lied and he lied

He lied like a salesman selling flies

So she screamed and she screamed, and she screamed and she screamed

It's a different place, but the same old thing

It's all I love, it's all I hate

It's all too much for me to take

I can't be sure where it begins

Or if the good life lies within

So she said, man I gotta get out of this town

Now I gotta get back on that train

Man I gotta get out of this town

I'm ouCt of my pain, so I'm gDoin' back to L.A. G Bm Am C

Back to L.A, back to L.A. G Bm Am C

I'm goin' back to L.A.

I'm goin' back to L.A....
