Verse
D E A Amaj7
I was sitting in the Hollywood Hawaiian Hotel
D E F#m
I was staring in my empty coffee cup
C#7 C#7/B F#m Bm
I was thinking that the gypsy wasn't lying
A
All the salty margaritas in Los Angeles
E
I'm gonna drink 'em up
[Chorus]
D E D A
And if California slides into the ocean
D C#m Bm A
Like the mystics and statistics say it will
Ddim C#m Bm A D E
I predict this motel will be standing until I pay my bill
D C#m Bm E A
But don't the sun look angry through the trees?
D C#m Bm E F#m
Don't the trees look like crucified thieves?
Bm7
Don't you feel like Desperados under the eaves
Bm Esus4 E Asus4 A
Heaven help the one who leaves
[Verse 2]
Bm F#m
Still waking up in the mornings with shaking hands
A E F#m
And I'm trying to find a girl who understands me
C# C#/B F#m E
But except in dreams you're never really free
D C#m Bm E A
Don't the sun look angry at me?
[Verse 3]
