Intro: G  Em C A7 G 

verse 1 

G         Em 
LA lights 
                                      C      A7 
never shine quite as bright as in the movies 
            G 
Still wanna go? 
        G                     Em 
'cause something here in the way, 
                                 C      A7 
In the way that we're constantly moving 
                G 
Reminds you of home. 


[Refrão]
          C                          Em 
So you're taking these pills for to fill up your soul 
           B                       Em 
And you're drinking then down with cheap alcohol 
     C                     Em 
And I'd be inclined to be yours for the taking 
    B                     Em 
And part of this terrible mess that you're making, 
    C    A7 
But me, 
A7 
I'm the catalyst

verse 2 

     G            Em 
When you say love 
                       C      A7 
Is a simple chemical reaction 
             G 
Can't say I agree, 
          G                Em 
'cause my chemical, yeah, yeah, 
                       C      A7 
Left me a beautiful disaster, 
                           G 
Still love's all is all I see. 


[Refrão]
       C                          Em 
So I'm taking these pills for to fill up my soul, 
        B                       Em 
And I'm drinking them down with cheap alcohol 
     C                      Em 
And you'd be inclined to be mine for the taking, 
    B                     Em 
And part of this terrible mess that I'm making, 
     C    A7 
But you, 
A7 
you're the catalyst 


Brief Interlude 

G 


Bridge 

               C                      Em                   B 
And you'll be vein, and you'll be the pain, you'll be the scar. 
               C              Em                   B 
You'll be the road, rolling below, the wheels of a car, 
                 C          Em 
And all of your thoughts on God 
       B 
Don't know if I'm strong enough now. 
               C                       A7              G     Em   B 
And you'll be vein, and you'll be the pain, you'll be the...

verse 3 

      G         Em 
These LA lights 
                                            C 
They don't shine quite as bright as back in Frisco, 
        A7                       G 
Do you want to go, still want to go?
