As recorded by Rancid (From the 1998 Album LIFE WON'T WAIT) [Intro] G [Verse 1]
G
Los Angeles take your dreams away

G
Put you on the ground

G
At the end of the day it's your life, your loss

G
If you can't turn the clock around

G
I said, oh, my God, you can have her for that one

G
So you better not miss a shot

G
You're letting yourself get into all kinds of danger

                          C
Soon enough, you're gonna get caught
[Pre-Chorus]
           D
They had a feeling

            C                                D
It was like you had to prove you're one in a million

       C                       D
And on top of that junkies are dealing

              C
This time the drugs are you and they'll come through

   D
It ain't gonna stop 'til they get what they want
[Chorus]
           G      Am        C        G
And I said nobody knows me, I'm all alone

         Am       C       
I, I, I, I, I, I, I gotta go

G                    Am           C       G
It's a Hollywood bus stop and the party's over

         Am       C       G  
I, I, I, I, I, I, I gotta go
[Verse 2]
G
John was havin' his homeboy down, so he waited for a ride

G
Then waited to confide in Hollywood's constant backslide

G
With affordable lives and a sunroof, nestled among the filth

G
Frequencies and bad intentions, gotta take it for what it's worth, but I say
[Pre-Chorus]
C          D
They had a feeling

            C                                D                
It was like you had to prove you're one in a million

       C                         D
And on top of that junkies still dealing

              C 
This time the drugs are you and they'll come through

   D
It ain't gonna stop 'til they get what they want
[Chorus]
           G      Am        C        G
And I said nobody knows me, I'm all alone

         Am       C       
I, I, I, I, I, I, I gotta go

G                    Am           C       G
It's a Hollywood bus stop and the party's over

         Am       C       G   C
I, I, I, I, I, I, I gotta go
[Bridge]
                   F               Am
Have you ever been haunted by your past?

            G          C
And it will never let you go

     Am          G            C
Will never ever, ever let you go

                    G                        C   G N.C.
No, I said, they'll never ever, ever let you go
[Guitar Solo] C D C D C D C D [Chorus]
           G      Am        C        G
And I said nobody knows me, I'm all alone

         Am       C       
I, I, I, I, I, I, I gotta go

G                    Am           C       G
It's a Hollywood bus stop and the party's over

         Am       C       G   
I, I, I, I, I, I, I gotta go

         Am       C       G   
I, I, I, I, I, I, I gotta go

         Am       C       G   
I, I, I, I, I, I, I gotta go

         Am       C       G  Am C G  
I, I, I, I, I, I, I gotta go
