C E
The crowd began to wave
Am Dm
From the freeway overpass
C E
We joined the parade
Am Dm
right behind the marching band
C
And You said
E Am Dm
"Wave back, cause these are the best days of your life."
C
And I said
E Am Dm
"I know, I can't feel anything"
G Am
And up, up on the Ferris wheel
C G Am
I can see L.A. and all the freeways
C G
I can see your face
Am
so close to me
C G
And I can dream my dreams
And light the night
Am C
like a drive in movie screen
(ya know....)
C E Am Dm (2x)
C E
On a hot summer day
Am Dm
We laughed in the Polaroid
C E
Counted all the ways,
Am Dm
To slow down our time machine
C E Am
And in my mind all I could
Dm
think was that love is war
C E Am Dm
And you know I'd surrender anything
G Am
And up, up on the Ferris wheel
C G Am
I can see L.A. and all the freeways
C G
I can see your face
Am
so close to me
C G
And I can dream my dreams
And light the night
Am C
like a drive in movie screen
E Am
Oh no, I don't want to be another
scar on a bar stool
in East Los Angeles.
