Capo 3rd Fret
[Intro]
  Eb-     Bb-      Cb    Eb  Ab  
[Verse 1]
Can somebody point me in thBbe right direcBtion?
I Cbseem to be losing Abmy way
I'm findEbing it hard to keep Bbeyes on the stars
When I hCit a new low Eevery Aday
[Pre-Chorus]
OAbh, but they don't knowCb  
CEban't go back Abhome
Everyone's watching and thCbey hope
I can be somEbeone they saAby they know
[Chorus]
Nobody tEbells you
When you go chasing your drBbeams
That it's much harder than it sCbeems
Or fake maEbgazines on the Abshelf
You're only left with yEbourself
Nobody's here to make Bbfriends
You're killing yourself to make Cbends meet
I'm tired and all that I've sAbeen is
LA is lonelyEb  
[Verse 2]
EbI've tried and I tried to keep aBbn open mind
But the Cbhands on the clock never stAbop
The oldEber I am oh the quiBbcker the sand in
The Cbold hourgEblass seems to drAbop
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, but they donCb't see
I quit twice a daEby
But I can'Abt leave
Everyone's home couCbnting on me
To be who they Ebwant me tAbo be
[Chorus]
But nobodEby tells you
When you go chasing your dreBbams
That it's much harder than it sCbeems
Or fake magazines on the sheAblf
You're only left with yourEbself
Nobody's here to make frieBbnds
You're killing yourself to make enCbds meet
I'm tired and all that I've sAbeen is
LA is lonelyEb  
[Interlude]
 Eb--  Bb---  Cb--  Ab--
[Chorus]
But nobody telEbls you
When you go chasing yBbour dreams
That itGb's much harBbder than it Cbseems
Or fake magaziEbnes on the shAbelf
You're only left with yourEbself
Nobody's here to make friBbends
You're killing yoursGbelf to make Bbends meCet
I'm tired and all thEbat I've seeAbn is
LA is lonelyEb  
OhhBb  
OhhCb  
I'm tired Eband all that IAb've seen is
