Capo 6
[Verse 1]
C
Some day they’re gonna write about us
G
Living here in the shadow of this gathering dust
Am F
As the waves build up and drown the light
C G
While we’re hanging from buildings on a Saturday night
[Verse 2]
C
And the words she said, I could barely hear
G
Over the blare of the speakers and the smell of beer
Am F
When she got up to speak she lifted her dress
C G
I remember her face, but I forget the rest
[Chorus]
F C
Here in California I was
G
Just a name and a number
Am
A face on a tumbler
F C
Here in California we’re all
G
Stuck in the same scene
Am
All nightmares and daydreams
C F G C
In California
[Verse 3]
C
She said I got money, but I got no friends
G
As we drove through the valley in her daddy’s Benz
Am F
She said these pills wear off, but the pain don’t end
C G
I never thought it would matter so much to pretend
[Verse 4]
C
And the thing about her that haunts me still
G
As her hands fell down to the steering wheel
Am F
And a shock of light fell across her face
C G
She said there’s only two ways out of this place
[Chorus]
F C
Here in California I was
G
Just a name and a number
Am
A face on a tumbler
F C
Here in California we’re all
G
Stuck in the same scene
Am
All nightmares and daydreams
C F G C
In California
[Bridge]
F C
Oh, I hope it’s clear
F C
There’s no room for us anymore in the atmosphere
F G
But darling I always liked
F G
The desperation in your eyes
F C F G C
The way you dance in the glow of the Hollywood freeway lights
[Verse 1]
C
Someday they’re gonna forget about us
G
And we’ll wonder if we were ever good enough
Am F
It hit me last night, in this song I heard
C G
I remember the feeling but forget all the words
[Chorus]
F C
Here in California I was
G
Just a name and a number
Am
A face on a tumbler
F C
Here in California we’re all

Stuck in the same scene
