Intro:
G6  Em  A7sus2  Cmaj7  (x2)

Verse 1:
  D6                      Em
I went with you up to the place you grew up and
A7sus2                 Cmaj7
We spent a week in the cold
G6                  Em
Just long enough to Walden it with you
    A7sus2                  Cmaj7
Any longer, it would've got old
         D6
Singing "Ace of Spades" when Lemmy died
     Em                         A7sus2   Cmaj7
But nothing's changed, L.A.'s alright
    D6                             Em
I'm sleeping in my bed again, and getting in my head
          A7sus2                    Cmaj7
And then, walk around the reservoir
Chorus:
G   Em      A7sus2                  Cmaj7
You..., you must've been looking for me
        G    Em
Sending smoke... signals
A7sus2       Cmaj7
Pelicans circling
        Em     D6      Cmaj7
Burning trash out on the beach

Post-Chorus:
D6  Em  A7sus2  Cmaj7

Verse 2:
D6                  Em
One of your eyes is always half-shut
          A7sus2                   Cmaj7
Something happened when you were a kid
D6                         Em
I didn't know you then and I'll never understand
A7sus2              Cmaj7
Why it feels like I did
D6                      Em
"How Soon Is Now" in an 80s sedan
A7sus2                 Cmaj7
You slept inside of it because your dad
D6                           Em
Lived in a campground in the back of a van
          A7sus2                    Cmaj7
You said that song'll creep you out until you're dead


Chorus:
G   Em      A7sus2                  Cmaj7
You..., you must've been looking for me
        G    Em
Sending smoke... signals
A7sus2       Cmaj7
Pelicans circling
        Em     D6      Cmaj7
Burning trash out on the beach

Post-Chorus:
D6  Em  A7sus2  Cmaj7

Verse 3:
G                    Em
I want to live at the Holiday Inn
      A7sus2                  Cmaj7
Where somebody else makes the bed
G                        Em
We'll watch TV while the lights on the street
A7sus2               Cmaj7
Put all the stars to death
          D6
It's been on my mind since Bowie died
     Em                      A7sus2  Cmaj7
Just checking out to hide from life
    D6                   Em
And all of our problems, I'm gonna solve 'em
     A7sus2              Cmaj7
With you riding shotgun, speeding, 'cause fuck the cops

Chorus:
G   Em      A7sus2                  Cmaj7
You..., you must've been looking for me
        G    Em
Sending smoke... signals
A7sus2       Cmaj7
Pelicans circling
        Em     D6      Cmaj7
Burning trash out on the beach

Post-Chorus:
D6  Em  A7sus2  Cmaj7

Verse 4:
  D6                      Em
I buried a hatchet, it's coming up lavender
    A7sus2                  Cmaj7
The future's unwritten; the past is a corridor
G6               Em
I'm at the exit, looking back through the hall
A7sus2             Cmaj7
You are anonymous, I am a concrete wall...

Outro:
G6  Em  A7sus2  Cmaj7 (x4)
