Verse
G A D Dmaj7
I was sitting in the Hollywood Hawaiian Hotel
G A Bm
I was staring in my empty coffee cup
F#7 F#7/E Bm Em
I was thinking that the gypsy wasn't lying
D
All the salty margaritas in Los Angeles
A
I'm gonna drink 'em up
[Chorus]
G A G D
And if California slides into the ocean
G F#m Em D
Like the mystics and statistics say it will
Ddim F#m Em D G A
I predict this motel will be standing until I pay my bill
G F#m Em A D
But don't the sun look angry through the trees?
G F#m Em A Bm
Don't the trees look like crucified thieves?
Em7
Don't you feel like Desperados under the eaves
Em Asus4 A Dsus4 D
Heaven help the one who leaves
[Verse 2]
Em Bm
Still waking up in the mornings with shaking hands
D A Bm
And I'm trying to find a girl who understands me
F# F#/E Bm A
But except in dreams you're never really free
G F#m Em A D
Don't the sun look angry at me?
