Option: Capo 1st fret
Guitar intro:
D//// F#m//// C/G//// G//// (twice)
[Verse]
D F#m
these days my friends don’t seem to know me
C/G G
without my suitcase in my hand
D F#m
and when I am standing still
C/G G
I seem to disappear
D F#m
but maybe that's how I found you
C/G G
maybe that's taught me exactly what I want
D F#m
maybe meeting you so far away from home
C/G A
is what makes it all so clear
[CHORUS]
G D Am7
but you got that special kind of sadness
G D Am7
you got that tragic set of charms
Em Bm
that only comes from time spent in Los Angeles
A G D
makes me wanna wrap you in my arms
[Verse]
D F#m
when people ask me where I come from
C/G G
to see what that says about man
D F#m
I only end up giving bad directions
C/G G
that never lead them there at all
D F#m
it’s something written in the head lights
C/G G
it is something swimming in my drink
D F#m
and if I were the moon
C/G A
it’d be exactly where I fall
[CHORUS]
G D Am7
you got that special kind of sadness
G D Am7
you got that tragic set of charms
Em Bm
that only comes from time spent in Los Angeles
A G D
makes me wanna wrap you in my arms
[Verse]
D F#m
I used to think someone would love me
C/G G
for places I have been
D F#m
and the dirt I have been gathering
C/G G
deep beneath my nails
D F#m
but now I know what I’ve been missing
C/G G
and I’m going home to make it mine
D F#m
and I'll be battening the hatches
C/G A
and pulling in the sails.
[CHORUS] (repeat twice)
G D Am7
you got that special kind of sadness
G D Am7
you got that tragic set of charms
Em Bm
that only comes from time spent in Los Angeles
A G A(first chorus) D(second chorus)
makes me wanna wrap you in my arms
