Intro:
C G F G
, , ,  (2x)
Verse:
   C             G
America sang me all the way
  F              G
Across Ventura Highway
         C             G
I was chasing the sun
 F                    G
Just chasing the sun
  C               G
Walking up the boulevard
  F                 G
Looking down and counting stars
  C          G        F   G
Singing Ladies of the Canyon
   F                        G
Freeway's frozen and the traffic's jammed but I
 Am                           F
Feel like I'm living in the movies (look at me)
Chorus:
 C              G
Hey, everybody has their song

Sunsets on the Palisades

And the Beach Boys
      G        F    G

     C                   G
Well I bought into that perfect scene
          F             G
That the Mamas and the Papas sing
        C      G
I was dreaming
        F   G
I was dreaming
     F                 G
And it's so funny how everybody lives
 Am             G            F
Like they are living in the movies
