Chords

[Intro] G Em Am D C D [Verse 1]
G                            B7
Well she left me here halfway

            Am
Between the bright lights of Los Angeles

         C                D
And the tawdry nights of San Jose

G                          B7
With Ecstacy and Ivory Wave

       Am
And a backpack full of Captain Jack

    C                   D
To take me to an early grave

Am
And I’ve never been to paradise

Am
Standing on this corner by myself

D
You don’t have to tell me twice
[Chorus 1]
G
And the world’s not gonna end

Em
If I could just pretend

C
That here’s a place to go

D
San Luis Obispo

G
And the streets may look the same

Em
Of any town by any name

C
Gonna find my afterglow

D
San Luis Obispo

     G            Em
The difference between delight

     C               Am            D
And loneliness could be a one way flight

D                         G
In these San Luis Obispo nights
[Verse 2]
G                         B7
Where no one seems to mind

        Am
If you string your words together with

      C                        D
Kool cigarettes and sparkling wine

G                          B7
Keep the conversation light

       Am
Wait until the girls get under-dressed

     C                  D
And then the talk gets less polite

Am
And I could stay here all my days

Am
But will I spend my life deciding if

D
Happiness is just a phase
[Chorus 2]
G
And I hope that I’m not wrong

Em
Maybe here’s where I belong

C
Every winter free of snow

D
San Luis Obispo

G
But if she’s coming back again

Em
I would flee but until then

C
Every day my love it grows

D
San Luis Obispo

     G            Em
The difference between delight

     C            Am              D
And loneliness is never black or white

D                          G
In these San Luis Obispo nights
[Interlude] G Em C D x2 [Bridge]
CM7           Bm
Sorry you misunderstood

     Am              D
This kid with his intentions good

      G             B7               Em
When all I had was two feet left to stand

    CM7               Bm
And if you’re coming back through town

Am                D
Put your ear down to the ground

       C                                   D
Cause this boy’s voice has changed into a man’s
[Chorus 3]
G
And I hope that I’m not wrong

Em
Baby here’s where I belong

C
Every winter free of snow

D
San Luis Obispo

G
But if she’s coming back again

Em
I would flee but until then

C
Every day my love it grows

D
San Luis Obispo

     G            Em   
The difference between delight

     C               Am            D
And loneliness could be a one way flight

D                          G
In these San Luis Obispo nights
[Outro] G Em Am C D G
