verse 1 

C                          F     G                      C 
Well I went to a Hollywood party, bunch of drunken damn fools 
C              F       G                         C 
Jumpin off the rooftop, into the neighbors pool 
C              F                     G                           Am 
Same old conversations, you wanna be famous, or you wanna be cool 
C                F                  G 
Guess I better go home, before I hit someone 


           F                G                C 
Cause this L.A. Livin ain’t like it was back home 
     F                          G                   C 
It’s warm in the winter and the wind never gets too strong 
     F                  C                      F  
Sometimes I think about you, I hope your not alone 
C                                     G                C 
I hope that you and my old dog, ain’t mad at me no more

C                          F     G                          C 
Last night I went to see Phillip, and his band down in echo park 
C                       F         G                      C 
Which their callin’ the back beat, Johnny on the bass guitar 
C                   F          G                       Am 
It sounded so good to me, lord knows he’s come so far 
C                      F                      G 
Drinkin’ in the back streets, and cryin’ on a hardwood floor 


         F                G                C 
And this L.A. Livin ain’t like it was down south 
     F                          G                      C 
When someone gets to singin some fucker won’t shut his mouth 
     F                       C                        F  
I don’t know if I’ll make it but I bet I’ll knock him out 
C                                     G                   C 
See how he talks about punk rock with his jaw wired shut 
 

         F                G                C 
And this L.A. Livin ain’t like it was back home 
     F                          G                   C 
It’s warm in the winter and the wind never gets too strong 
     F                  C                      F  
Sometimes I think about you, I hope your not alone 
C                                     G            C 
I hope that you and my old dog, ain’t mad at me no more
