Owl John – Los Angeles, Be Kind
[Verse 1]
C
You exhaust me you know
G
Bellowing black exhaust pipe smoke
F C
And the smut won't wash from this unsuitable immigrant skin
C
Such a villainous grace
G
Oh I don't know what you've done to your face
F C
Some nights I can't figure out quite where your heart is
[Chorus 1]
G F C G F
Oh Los Angeles, be kind
C G F
No more trouble or red lights
C
I can learn to love you in good time
G F C
Oh Los Angeles, be kind
[Verse 2]
C
I read you all wrong
G
So I get drunk just to feel I belong
F C
By a river so dry it's barely a river at all
C
And we suck one another at night
G
Fire pistols and cover our eyes
F C
And we waltz unseen behind Hollywood's ballroom doors
[Chorus 2]
G F C G F
Oh Los Angeles, be kind
C G F
No more headaches or fist fights
C
We can live with each other
G
It just takes time
F
Oh Los Angeles, be kind
C
Take me to bed with a painkiller
G
Say goodnight
F
Oh Los Angeles, be kind
