[Verse 1]
             E                     E/F#                  A
There's the part you've braced yourself against, and then

B                     E
There's the other part

      E               E/F#                      A
Steal up inclining northward streets with some

         B               E
Weird sickness in the dark

C#m7                    A
Saw your name on the sidewalk

         E                   A
Saw your brave face in my mind

          E
If you're gonna sit next to the dealer

                  B
You get to bet blind
[Chorus]
E
Never get away, never get away

             A                 B         E
I am never, ever gonna get away from this place

E               E/F#              A
Laid out on the street, my eyes toward the sun

     B                   E
Your star next to my face
[Verse 2]
      E          E/F#             A
The compasses I came into this world with

       B                 E
Never really worked so good

 E               E/F#              A
Gentle shadows spilling down the hills

B                      E
Up on Mulholland at Ledgewood

     C#m7           A
Turn back, turn back

E               G#m                 A
Find someone to tell your secrets to

       E
Dream past an old hotel on Ivy

                          B
And seconds later, I saw you
[Chorus]
E
Never get away, never get away

             A                  B         E
I am never, ever gonna get away from this place

E               E/F#              A
Laid out on the street, my eyes toward the sun

     B                   E
Your star next to my face
[Bridge]
Amaj7
Let the camera track me

         E
From the footlights to the wings

Amaj7
Let me set aside an hour or two

                   B
In memory of sweet things
[Verse 3]
   E              E/F#                           A
Regrind the lens again and again and again and again

      B                 E
But still the picture flips

  E                          E/F#
Anyone here mentions "Hotel California" dies before    (this is the part I deem dubious)

      A                         B
The first line clears his lips
[Chorus]
E
Never get away, never get away

             A                  B         E
I am never, ever gonna get away from this place

E               E/F#              A
Laid out on the street, my eyes toward the sun

     B                   E
Your star next to my face
