                            G                       Bm
         She hangs around the boulevard
                     Am                  C5
         She's a local girl with local scars
         She got home late, she got home late
         She drank so hard the bottle ached

         And she tried and she tried, and she tried and she tried
         But nothing's clear in a bar full of flies
         So she takes and she takes, she takes and she takes
         She understands when she gives it away

                                        G                       C               D
                        She says, man I gotta get out of this town
                        Man I gotta get out of this pain
                        Man I gotta get out of this town
                        C                        D
                        Out of this town, and out of L.A.
                                                                                 G Bm Am C5

         She's gotta gun, she's gotta a gun
         She gotta gun she call the lucky one
         She left a note up by the phone
         Don't leave a message cause this ain't no home

         And she cried and she cried, and she cried and she cried
         She cried so long her tears ran dry
         And she laughed and she laughed, she laughed and she laughed
         Cause she knew she was never comin' back

                        She said, man I'm gonna get out of this town
                        Man I'm gonna get out of this pain
                        Man I'm gonna get out of this town
                        Out of this town, and out of L.A.

                                                       Em                      Em(maj7)
                                      It's all she loves, it's all she hates
                                                       Em6                   Cmaj7
                                      It's all too much for her to take
                                      She can't be sure just where it ends
                                      Or where the good life begins

         So she took a train, she took a train
         To a little old town without a name
         She met a man, he took her in
         But fed her all the same bullshit, again

         Cause he lied and he lied, and he lied and he lied
         He lied like a salesman selling flies
         So she screamed and she screamed, and she screamed and she screamed
         It's a different place, but the same old thing

                                      It's all I love, it's all I hate
                                      It's all too much for me to take
                                      I can't be sure where it begins
                                      Or if the good life lies within

                        So she said, man I gotta get out of this town
                        Now I gotta get back on that train
                        Man I gotta get out of this town
                              C                     D                                 G    Bm Am C5
                        I'm out of my pain, so I'm goin' back to L.A.

                                                               G Bm Am C5
                        Back to L.A, back to L.A.
                        I'm goin' back to L.A.
                        I'm goin' back to L.A....
                                                                                (end on G)
