     F                          Cm/Eb
I've passed a lot of exit signs in my time

                        Bb/D          Bbm/Db
While drivin' down that long freeway

       F/C               C11
To San Diego, and points south.
[Verse 2]
          G               G/F
But there was a time last summer

       C/E               Cm/Eb      Gmaj7
When I came down from Manhattan

                              D11
And though I knew I shouldn't, it was just too hard

      G       Em      C   C/D   Gsus4      G
And I made my move at Rosecrans Boulevard.

  Rosecrans Boulevard,

  G                 F/G
  Stop your calling me

C            Ab              Bb   C
  You know I never loved her any--way

Abmaj7
  I just used her

  Dbmaj7   Bb
  Over and over
[Bridge]
Ab
  But there were times when she'd laugh

                Ab/Gb
  And I think I loved her

Ab
  One night on Manhattan Beach

                     Ab/Gb
  I said things that moved too fast to suit her

C                           G7        C
  Then I held her close and dried her tears

[Chorus]
  G         C/D  D
  Rosecrans Boulevard,

Gmaj7                Cmaj7
  Who cares what you think

Cm
  The girl was half crazy,

G/B
  The way she drove her little car

  Eb/Bb
  Down Sunset Boulevard

     Am7b5
  At three in the morning

        Ab              G         Cm          Cm/Bb
  Doing ninety miles an hour in a thirty mile zone

      Dsus4/A   D/A                 Gsus4     G
  And blamed me      when she got a ticket
[Verse 3]
                         F
  But then there was that smile

Cm/Eb                     Bb/D
  It was really what made all the airlines go

Bbm/Db                      F/C
  She was a stewardess, you know

  Fmaj7                        C11
  Shot down on a non-combatant mission

                  F
  And though I've hid it

  Cm/Eb                          Bb/D
  Every time I drive my car past Rosecrans Boulevard

Bbm/Db                  Dsus2
  I wonder why I did it.
