Misc Soundtrack – Fame Musical - In La (Guitar)

Gm*
Out in L.A. and broke on the ticket that

     Ab
this fellow sent me

Gm*
One change of clothes in the suitcase my

           Ab
girlfriend Anna lent me

Gm
I stayed for awhile in his place, runnin'

          Ab
with this crowd of his

Db9                      Bb11
Partyin' day after day, meetin' everybody in the biz

         Eb          F        Ab    F
Oh, they know how to do it in L.A.

      Eb          Db9b5               C7
They know how to make it seem brand new

            Ab             Abm
Though it's true what they say, that it's

Eb     C7
only a dream

      Ab         Bb11              Gm7  Gb7
And a dream is a wish you wish for you

     Fm7   Bb11           Eb
In L.A the dream may come true

Gm*
   After the booze and the coke

                   Ab
The visions of the blue Pacific

Gm*
    After the two hundredth time

                  Ab
I told him he was just terrific

Gm*
I woke up one late afternoon

     Ab
And couldn't tell quite where I was

Db9
Left-over taste in my mouth

Bb11
   And the morning after buzz

F/A                     Abdim7
I packed my bag and split      and found myself a

Eb/G
dancin' job

F#dim7            Fm7              Fbmaj7
       Worked the bar for tips and stripped for

      Eb          Ebm/D
every lonely slob

Db9                     C7#9          Ebaug/B
   Counted every single minute as the hours

     Eb/Bb
went by

Am7b5
       Then fell in bed and cried til there were no

Bb11
    more tears to cry

F                                Fdim7
You try to stop the thought from comin'

Eb              Ebdim7
  That it never ends

                     Fm7
You think about how far you are

Fbmaj7              Eb    Ebm/D
     From home and friends

Db9               C7#9
You get thru one day at a time

    Ebaug/B                Eb/Bb
You find a way of stayin' numb

Am7b5
Don't look in the mirror

   Bb11
To see what you've become

         Eb             F       Ab F
But they know how to do it in L.A.

     Eb                  Db7       C7
They know how to make it seem so new

            Ab              Abm
Though it's true what they say

            Eb        C7
That's it's only a dream

      Fm7         Bb7sus4          Gm7  Gb7
And a dream is a wish you wish for you

     Fm7          Bb7          Eb
In L.A. the dream may come true

          Eb           F        Ab   F
Yes, they know how to do it in L.A.

     Eb            Db7        C7
They know that somewhere the sky is blue

   Ab              Abm       Eb      C7
So smile when they say 'It's only a dream'

          Fm7         Bb7sus4        Gm7  Gb7
And you'll get what is comin' to you

    Fm7  Bb7  Eb  C7
In L.A,

     Fm7  Bb7  Eb  C7
in L.A.,

     Fm7
