God Take Me Out Of La chords by Eliza McLamb

• Difficulty: Beginner

Key: G

Verse 1:
G
I need the snow to fall on me
  C                  G
I need four weeks of rain
                                        C                G
I need to feel grass under my feet, and when I feel that pain
Am                              C
I need the sky to darken up and show me it knows my name
  D
I can't see the sun shine one more time
C                    G
God, take me out of LA

Verse 2:
G
I miss my mama and the way she looks
         C        G
That one hazy memory
G
Whether it's true don't matter to me
     C             G
It's real, and I believe
    Am                               C
And when I go home, you know that it hurts to hear them say
Am              D
When he goes to Hollywood
      C                   G
Could God take me out of LA?


Chorus:
Em             D       G       C
God, won't you take me out of LA?
      Em                    D               G         C
Feels strange to ask 'cause I'm the onе who wanted to stay
            Em                      D
And I'm not built for this, I can't handle it
      G     D     Em   C
But I still can't get away
                     G   C
God, takе me out of LA


Verse 3:
  G
I hate it here, is what I'd say
   C                 G
If I lost half of my mind
G
The desert air don't agree with me
    C                       G
But mostly it's working out fine
  Am                           C
Except for when I want to know something like the Earth
  D7
Except for when I'm feeling cursed
            C                    G
Screaming, "God, take me out of LA"


Verse 4:
G                                  C         G
Round every corner, I run into you all over again
G
And maybe we'll always fight like this
    C             G
But can I just pretend
Am                                 C
That I'd lose you on foot, running square away from this place
     Am                   D
Even though you'd show up anyway
   C                    G
Oh God, take me out of LA


Chorus:
Em             D       G       C
God, won't you take me out of LA?
      Em                    D               G         C
Feels strange to ask 'cause I'm the one who wanted to stay
    Em                    D
Not built for this, can't handle it
      G     D     Em   C
But I still can't get away
C
I'm so lonely in this place
                             Em  D  G  Em  C
Please, God, take me out of LA


Verse 5:
G
When I'm gone, I miss the light
       C              G
How it felt across my face
G
I miss how there was no urgency
             C           G
Should I go, or should I stay?
Am
That right there is the problem
         C
Couldn't make one single choice
           Am
And at the end of the day
     D            C                   G
I'll always say, "God took me out of LA"
