Owl John – Los Angeles, Be Kind
[Verse 1]
You eCxhaust me you know 
Bellowing bGlack exhaust pipe smoke 
And the Fsmut won't wash from this unsuitable immigrant Cskin 
Such a Cvillainous grace 
Oh I don't Gknow what you've done to your face
Some nFights I can't figure out quite where your heart isC  
[Chorus 1]
    G      F   COh Los Angeles, be kindG  F  
CNo more trouble or red lightsG  F  
CI can learn to love you in good time
GOh Los AFngeles, be kindC  
[Verse 2]
I Cread you all wrong
So I get dGrunk just to feel I belong
By a rFiver so dry it's barely a river at Call
And we Csuck one another at night
Fire pGistols and cover our eyes
And we wFaltz unseen behind Hollywood's ballroom dCoors
[Chorus 2]
    G      F   COh Los Angeles, be kindG  F  
CNo more headaches or fist fightsG  F  
CWe can live with each other
It just takes tGime
Oh Los FAngeles, be kind
CTake me to bed with a painkiller
Say goodnGight
Oh Los FAngeles, be kind
