[Verse 1]
Bb C F Fmaj7
I was sitting in the Hollywood Hawaiian Hotel
Bb C Dm
I was staring in my empty coffee cup
A7 A7/G Dm Gm
I was thinking that the gypsy wasn't lying
F
All the salty margaritas in Los Angeles
C
I'm gonna drink 'em up
[Chorus]
Bb C Bb F
And if California slides into the ocean
Bb Am Gm F
Like the mystics and statistics say it will
Ddim Am Gm F Bb C
I predict this motel will be standing until I pay my bill
Bb Am Gm C F
But don't the sun look angry through the trees?
Bb Am Gm C Dm
Don't the trees look like crucified thieves?
Gm7
Don't you feel like Desperados under the eaves
Gm Csus4 C Fsus4 F
Heaven help the one who leaves
[Verse 2]
Gm Dm
Still waking up in the mornings with shaking hands
F C Dm
And I'm trying to find a girl who understands me
A A/G Dm C
But except in dreams you're never really free
Bb Am Gm C F
Don't the sun look angry at me?
[Verse 3]
Bb C F Fmaj7
I was sitting in the Hollywood Hawaiian Hotel
Bb C Dm
I was listening to the air conditioner hum
Dm C F
It went mmm mmm mmmm mmmm mmm
Bb F C
mmm mmm mmmm mmmm mmm
Dm C F
Look away down Gower Avenue
Bb F C
Look away
Dm C F
Look away down Gower Avenue
Bb F C
Look away
Dm C F
Look away down Gower Avenue
Bb F C
Look away
Dm C F
Look away down Gower Avenue
Bb F C
Look away
