California The Airborne Toxic Event
CAPO 6
[C]Some day theyâ??re gonna write about us
Living [G]here in the shadow of this gathering dust
As the [Am]waves build up and [F]drown the light
While weâ??r[C]e hanging from buildings on [G]a Saturday night
And the [C]words she said, I could barely hear
Over the [G]blare of the speakers and the smell of beer
When she got [Am]up to speak she [F]lifted her dress
I [C]remember her face, but I [G]forget the rest
Here in [F]California [C]I was
Just a name and a [G]number
A face on a [Am]tumbler
Here in [F]California [C]weâ??re all
Stuck in the [G]same scene
All nightmares and [Am]daydreams
In [C]Cali[F]fo[G]rn[C]ia
She [C]said I got money, but I got no friends
As we [G]drove through the valley in her daddyâ??s Benz
She said these [Am]pills wear off, but the [F]pain donâ??t end
I never [C]thought it would matter so [G]much to pretend
And the [C]thing about her that haunts me still
As her [G]hands fell down to the steering wheel
And a [Am]shock of light fell [F]across her face
She said [C]thereâ??s only two ways out[G] of this place
Here in [F]California [C]I was
Just a name and a [G]number
A face on a [Am]tumbler
Here in [F]California [C]weâ??re all
Stuck in the [G]same scene
All nightmares and [Am]daydreams
In [C]Cali[F]fo[G]rn[C]ia
[F]Oh, I hope itâ??[C]s clear
Thereâ??s n[F]o room for us anymore in the atm[C]osphere
But [F]darling I always l[G]iked
The desper[F]ation in your [G]eyes
The way you d[F]ance in the [C]glow of the [F]Hollywood [G]freeway [C]lights
[C]Someday theyâ??re gonna forget about us
And weâ??l[G]l wonder if we were ever good enough
It [Am]hit me last night, in this [F]song I heard
I [C]remember the feeling but [G]forget all the words
Here in [F]California [C]I was
Just a name and a [G]number
A face on a [Am]tumbler
Here in [F]California [C]weâ??re all
Stuck in the [G]same scene
All nightmares and [Am]daydreams
In [C]Cali[F]fo[G]rn[C]ia
In [C]Cali[F]fo[G]rn[C]ia
