Strum
D-DU-UDU
 dancing like the nights are down in nashville
 but i seem to know the ghosts who like to run
 i got a call to go  to a late  night picture show
 so i traded in the darkness  and i'm already there
 i'm already there
 and i'm tryin'  to make some friends
 so if you see that movie star  and me
 if you see my picture  in a magazine
 or if you fall asleep  by the bedroom TV
 well honey i'm just tryin'  to make some  sense
 outta me
 I left a lot of ghosts in San Francisco
 and now you wanna say you see through me
 but what you wanna see  ain't your memories  of me
 so why you turn around  tonight but i'm already there
 i'm already there
 and i'm just tryin'  to make some friends
 so if you see that movie star  and me
 you should see my picture  in a magazine
 or if you fall asleep  when youre watching TV
 well honey i'm just tryin'  to make some  sense
 Los Angeles
   boston  gets cold  this time  of year
   seems  like each day  just leaves  me numb
   i gotta  get out  of here
   (Hold)
 go walking in the sun
 so if you see that movie star  and me
 you should my picture  in a magazine
 or if you fall asleep  by the bedroom  TV
 but honey i'm just trying  to make some  sense
 honey i'm just trying  to make some  friends
 well baby i'm not trying  to make amends
 for coming to Los Angeles
 oh Los Angeles
 no more Boston, no more Nashville,  no more Oakland
 oh baby come on out to the sea
 come on take a walk down Sunset with me
 oh we gonna get drunk,  find up some skinny girls, and go street walking
 in Los Angeles!
 End on C
