[Intro] D G D G [Verse 1]
D                    G                 A        C G
Don't you think it's time that we were leaving?

D                   G                A     C G A
For another chance, another place to start

G                                   F#m
Desperate ones that went across the ocean

    A                                   D
And they wondered how it would all turn out
[Chorus]
G              A               D
If you have to beg or steal or borrow

G              D        C    G  D
Welcome to Los Angeles, City of Tomorrow
[Verse 2]
D                  G              A        C G A
They landed on the coldest of the colonies

D                     G               A    C G A
But still they wanted better than the rest

G                                        F#m
They built highways on the houses of the homesteads

A                            D
It happened that way heading west
[Chorus]
G              A               D
If you have to beg or steal or borrow

G              D        C    G  D
Welcome to Los Angeles, City of Tomorrow
[Instrumental] A G D D A G D D [Chorus]
G              A               D
If you have to beg or steal or borrow

G              D        C    G  D
Welcome to Los Angeles, City of Tomorrow
[Verse 3]
   D                 G               D      C G A
So this is where the Renaissance has led to

    D              G            A     C G A
And we will be the only ones to know

G                                      D
So take a drive and breathe the air of ashes

A                      G        D
That is, if you need a place to go
[Chorus]
G              A               D
If you have to beg or steal or borrow

G              D        C    G  D
Welcome to Los Angeles, City of Tomorrow

C    G  D
City of Tomorrow,

C    G  D
City of Tomorrow
[Outro] F A# F A# F A# F A#
