Em Beihold - City of Angels

[verse 1]
     C#m            G#           A      E  E/D#
It's hard havin' a heart in the city
            C#m                 G#
Look at the stars, waiting for someone
                   A                 E  E/D#
to tell you you're pretty; you're enough
      C#m            G#
So it goes, I don't know,
         A                    E      E/D#
what the feeling's like to be comfortable
       C#m               G#
With a stranger in your skin
           A                E      G#7
Don't know why you let them in

[chorus]
C#m
  We used to talk about the fakers in L.a.
G#
  But now you're one of 'em and damn it hurts to say
A
  I should have seen it comin'
            E                 G#7
from a mile away, a mile away
C#m
  You always wanted to take before you give
G#
  But what's the fun of it
                     A
I don't know how you live with yourself
                               E
in your Hollywood house in the hills
         G#7
Gives me chills
        C#m

[verse 2]
        C#m               G#
Used to say, if you ever made it
           A          E  E/D#
I'd be the first call
               C#m              G#
And life would stay fairly the same
       A                   E         E/D#
Oh our friendship wouldn't change at all
        C#m             G#
But you busted haven't talked in a year
     A                 E
I mistrusted, now it's all coming clear
         G#7
That you only think of yourself
       E                           G#   G#7
May be loved, but you're lonely as hell, oh

C#m
We used to talk about the fakers in L.a.
G#
But now you're one of 'em,
I guess you got your way
A
I bet you're tired of all the games
           E                G#7
you had to play, you had to play
C#m
  You always wanted to take before you give
G#
  But what's the fun of it
                     A
I don't know how you live with yourself
                               E
in your Hollywood house in the hills
         G#7
Gives me chills

Thats what they call us, right?
              C#m
Wish you were able
               E
To see there's so much more to life
     A
Than fortune and fame, validation and pain

         G#
When you always want more,
G#7             C#m    E
 there's nothing to gain
