G D I'm in Los Angeles today... D C It smells like an airport runway. B C Jet fuel stenches in the cabin Cmaj7 G And lights flickering at random. G D I'm in Los Angeles today... C B C Garbage cans comprise the medians of freeways always creaping Cmaj7 G Even when the population's sleeping. D B C And I can't see why you'd want to live here. G D I'm in Los Angeles today... C B C Asked a gas station employee if he ever had trouble breathing Cmaj7 G And he said "It varies from season to season, kid." G D It's where our best are on display... C Motion picture actors' houses B C Maps are never ever current Cmaj7 G So save your film and $15. D B C G And I can't see why you'd want to live here. D B C G Billboards reach past the tallest buildings, D B C G "We are not perfect - but we sure try." D B C G As UV rays "degraded" our youth with time.

Em G The vessel keeps pumping us through this zentropic place A7 C In the belly of the beast that is Californ-i-a, Em G I drank from a faucet and I kept my receipts A7 For when the weigh me on my way out C (Here nothing is free). Em The greyhounds keep coming G Dumping locusts into the street A7 Until the gutters overflow C And Los Angeles thinks,
(single percussive strums)
C C C C (let it ring) "I might explode
someday soon."
G D It's a lovely summer's day C B C And I can almost see a skyline through a thickening shroud of egos. Cmaj7 G (Is this the city of Angeles or demons?) G D Here the names are what remain... C Stars encapsulate the golden age B C Cmaj7 G And they need constant cleaning for when the tourists begin salivating. D B C G And I can't see why you'd want to live here. D B C G Billboards reach past the tallest buildings, D B C G You can't swim in a town this shallow - D B C G as you will most assuredly drown tomorrow
