In a matter of time

There'll be a friend of mine

Gonna come to the coast

You're gonna see him

Up close for a minute or two

[Verse 2]
E
By the look in your eyes
D
You'd think that it was a surprise
Bm
But you seem to forget
A
Something somebody said
E
About the bubbles in the sea
D G
And an ocean full of trees
Cmaj7
And you now
[Chorus]
Fmaj7 Cmaj7 Fmaj7
L.A., Uptight
Cmaj7 Fmaj7
City in the smog, city in the smog
Cmaj7 Fmaj7
Don't you wish that you could be here too?
Cmaj7 Fmaj7
Don't you wish that you could be here too?
Cmaj7 Fmaj7
Don't you wish that you could be here too?

[Verse 3]
E
Well, it's hard to believe
D
So you get up to leave
Bm
And you laugh at the door
A
That you heard it all before
E
Oh it's so good to know
D G
That it's all just a show for you

[Verse 4]
E
But when the suppers are planned
D
And the freeways are crammed
Bm
And the mountains erupt
A
And the valley is sucked
E
Into cracks in the earth
D G Cmaj7
Will I finally be heard by you
[Chorus]
Fmaj7 Cmaj7 Fmaj7
L.A., Uptight
Cmaj7 Fmaj7
City in the smog, city in the smog
Cmaj7 Fmaj7
Don't you wish that you could be here too?
Cmaj7 Fmaj7
Don't you wish that you could be here too?
Cmaj7 Fmaj7
Don't you wish that you could be here too?
