Santa Monica

Attempt at rhythm -
if you can't pick it up from the song, here's a valiant attempt..
Verse -
G5 G5            G5 G5 G5E  G5 G5
      x x x x          /         x x x x
(repeat.. the x's represent muting the strings and stumming)
Same basic strumming technique throughout the rest of the song.
[Verse I]
                                    G5   G5E  G5
                                         /   
           I am still living with your ghost
                  G5E        G5    G5E G5
                  /               /  
           Lonely and dreaming of the west coast
                      G5E              D5 E5  C5
                      /                      
           I don't want to be your downtime
                  C5    D5     G5
           I don't want to be your stupid game
[Verse II]
                                    G5   G5E  G5
                                         /   
           With my big black boots and an old suitcase
                  G5E        G5    G5E G5
                  /               /  
           I do believe I'll find myself a new place
                      G5E              D5 E5  C5
                      /                      
           I don't want to be the bad guy
                  C5    D5     G5
           I don't want to do your sleepwalk dance anymore
           I just want to see some palm trees
           Go and try to shake away this disease
[Chorus]
                                C5
           We can live beside the ocean
           C5            D5          G5
           Leave the fire behind
           G5               E5     D5
           Swim out past the breakers
           D5          C5      G5
           Watch the world die
[Verse III]
                                    G5   G5E  G5
                                         /   
           I am still dreaming of your face
                  G5E        G5    G5E G5
                  /               /  
           Hungry and hollow for all the things you took away
                      G5E              D5 E5  C5
                      /                      
           I don't want to be your good time
                  C5    D5     G5
           I don't want to be your fall-back crutch anymore
[Verse IV]
                                    G5   G5E  G5
                                         /   
           I'll walk right out into a brand new day
                  G5E        G5    G5E G5
                  /               /  
           Insane and rising in my own weird way
                      G5E              D5 E5  C5
                      /                      
           I don't want to be the bad guy
                  C5    D5     G5
           I don't want to do your sleepwalk dance anymore
           I just want to feel some sunshine
           I just want to find some place to be alone
[Chorus]
                                C5
           We can live beside the ocean
           C5            D5          G5
           Leave the fire behind
           G5               E5     D5
           Swim out past the breakers
