Rilo Kiley – Let Me Back In (Guitar)

C                  E7
 Let it be printed, let it be known

Am              Am
I'm leaving you, I'm going home

G                          F         C  C
 And all you can do is just watch me go

G    C             E7
I've put you down, talked you up

  Am                         Am
Defended your honor and then packed it in and picked it up

G                     F         C  C
 And all you can do is watch me go

G        C                         E7
From the Eastern seaboard, the landlocked Midwest

    Am                                 Am
The Keys, the Alps, the Black Hills and Budapest

        G                                 F
With my heart in a sling, tail between my legs a-swinging

              C
I'm sorry for leaving

    G       F           G
But when the palm trees bow their heads

Am             F
 No matter how wrong I've been

Dm    G                       C
 L.A., you always let me back in

    G       C               E7
And you can bury me when my body breaks

       Am                     Am
In the earth that created me, in the Golden State

      G                             F        C  C
By my mama and her brother and their mama too

       G       C
'Cause I had a dream I was carried on backs

     E7
Of a thousand green birds

         Am                   Am
And they carried me to a place without words

G                      F                   C
 And there was nothing, but there was everything

                        G
And it sounded like this

    G       F           G
But when the palm trees bow their heads

Am             F
 No matter how wrong I've been

Dm    G                       C   E7
 L.A., you always let me back in

            F           G
And when the palm trees bow their heads

Am             F
 No matter how cruel I've been

Dm    G                       F   G
 L.A., you always let me back in, in

        F   G
Oh back in, in

        F   G   C
Oh back in, in
