Vamp on A chord for intro
V1
A E
Taking a dip, on the Sunset Strip, in the mornin'. Ain't nothin' like the
A
smell of tofu and high dollar wine
D
Except maybe all them cars lockin' down the I-5.
A E A
But I find it amazin', these rats I been chasin', helpin' me remember a time.
Chorus
D A E
When the only LA I knew was the lower Alabama. Back when me an' Hannah,
A
was wishing on a southern star.
D A
Now it's so complicated. I really hated. Why'd I ever wanna to go so far?
E
Taking depression pills, in the Hollywood hills, and actin' like I'm
A
playin' a part.
V2
E
All this grippin' and grinning. Losin' and winnin'. And runnin'.
A
And promises break like an egg on the hot asphalt.
D
What the heck was thinkin'. Drinkin' like I'd never get caught.
A E
These high dollar women. And the fame and the fortune. Ain't worth the
A
ticket I bought.
Chorus
D A E
When the only LA I knew was the lower Alabama. Back when me an' Hannah,
A D
was wishing on a southern star. Now it's so complicated. I really hated.
A
Why'd I ever wanna to go so far? Taking depression pills, in the Hollywood
E A
hills, and actin' like I'm playin' a part.
E
Taking depression pills in the Hollywood hills, and actin' like I'm
A
playin' a part.
