Cb C# F# F#maj7
I was sitting in the Hollywood Hawaiian Hotel
Cb C# D#m
I was staring in my empty coffee cup
A#7 A#7/G# D#m G#m
I was thinking that the gypsy wasn't lying
F#
All the salty margaritas in Los Angeles
C#
I'm gonna drink 'em up
[Chorus]
Cb C# Cb F#
And if California slides into the ocean
Cb A#m G#m F#
Like the mystics and statistics say it will
Ddim A#m G#m F# Cb C#
I predict this motel will be standing until I pay my bill
Cb A#m G#m C# F#
But don't the sun look angry through the trees?
Cb A#m G#m C# D#m
Don't the trees look like crucified thieves?
G#m7
Don't you feel like Desperados under the eaves
G#m C#sus4 C# F#sus4 F#
Heaven help the one who leaves
[Verse 2]
G#m D#m
Still waking up in the mornings with shaking hands
F# C# D#m
And I'm trying to find a girl who understands me
A# A#/G# D#m C#
But except in dreams you're never really free
Cb A#m G#m C# F#
Don't the sun look angry at me?
