Santa Monica

Attempt at rhythm -
if you can't pick it up from the song, here's a valiant attempt..
Verse -
G5 G5 x x x x G5 G5 G5/E G5 G5 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 G5/E G5
I am still living with your ghost
G5/E G5 G5/E G5
Lonely and dreaming of the west coast
G5/E 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 G5/E G5
With my big black boots and an old suitcase
G5/E G5 G5/E G5
I do believe I'll find myself a new place
G5/E 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 G5/E G5
I am still dreaming of your face
G5/E G5 G5/E G5
Hungry and hollow for all the things you took away
G5/E 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 G5/E G5
I'll walk right out into a brand new day
G5/E G5 G5/E G5
Insane and rising in my own weird way
G5/E 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
D5 C5 G5
Watch the world die
