At the end of the 2nd chorus it sounds good if you play up the fretboard from E to F#, G then A
and back down to open C.
[Verse]
E F# The gentleman's in the lane Em C Spinning his hat on a cane A C Stepping out, out for a change D F C Good morning all, it's a beautiful day E F# The generals are winning the war Em C A Seemed suicidal before you came along C Now, now D F C I'll protect you, long as you'll stay
[Chorus]
E F# L.A. C Cm D G Morning had to come, I'd be walking in the sun F# Living in the day C D E But last night I was about to throw it all away
[Verse]
E F# If patience started a band Em C I'd be her biggest fan A C Look at me, I'm talking to you D F C I don't want the lead in your play E F# The star's just a part of the scene Em C The gentleman in green A C Paying off, out on the street D F C I can't go home, it's not on my way
[Chorus]
E F# L.A. C Cm D G Things I've never done, cars parked in the sun F# Living in the day C D E But last night I was about to throw it all away C D E Last night I was about to throw it all away C D E Last night I was about to throw it all away C D E Last night I was about to throw it all away
