I got the chords from the band's acoustic version of the song. Check it out if you're having trouble with the
rhythm or something. This song is amazing, enjoy :)
Capo on 2nd fret
E C#5 B5 A9
E
I took a trip up the west coast
C#5
LAX to SFO
B5
Was searching for a temp so low
A9
And a summer high
E
The Sun swayed and set slow
C#5
Made waves with some friends I know
B5
Got lost in the ebb and flow
B5
Of the drifting tide(And I)
A9 E
I didn't ever want to come down
B5 C#5 A9
From that west coast rush and summer high
E B5 B5
And easy, peaceful sense of time (I felt so alive)
A9 E
Now I'm alone when I'm back home
B5 C#5
It's cold and old
A9
But in my mind
E
I, I am
B5 B5
Miles and miles away
E C#5 B5 A9
E
Pretty pretty girls on two wheels
C#5
Dolores Heights and a laid back feel
B5
We sat and drank for a while until
A9
The city came alive
E
We were smoking with strangers
C#5
We were dancing with the lights on
B5
I was singing to "The Angels"
B5
See that's my favorite X song
A9 E
I didn't ever want to come down
B5 C#5 A9
From that west coast rush and summer high
E B5 B5
And easy, peaceful sense of time (I felt so alive)
A9 E
Now I'm alone when I'm back home
B5 C#5
It's cold and old
A9
But in my mind
E
I, I am
B5 B5
Miles and miles away
A9 E B5 C#5
A9 E B5 B5
C#5 A9 B5
When the buzz ain't like it was
B5 C#5 A9
Well then it's time for a change
B5
Just a subtle change
C#5 A9 B5
A tongue full of only tomorrow's
B5 C#5
Will never quench your thirst for today
A9 B5
So what do you say we take a trip miles away
A9 E
I didn't ever want to come down
B5 C#5 A9
From that west coast rush and summer high
E B5 B5
And easy, peaceful sense of time (I felt so alive)
A9 E B5
At the moment any place I go
C#5
Is beautiful
A9
But in my mind
E
I, I am
B5 B5
Miles and miles away
A9 E B5 A9
A9 E B5 A9 (quick change to E)
