Intro  Em D G A

D      A               G
Nobody looks at you in LA
    D         G#m               D
I think it's because they're afraid
                    Bm
That you might be crazy
    G                 A
Or come and take them away
D              F#
Away from the simple life
Bm             A        A7
Away from the guns and knives
G          D           Bm        G    A
Away to a place that's cold and gray

D       A               G
Nobody smiles at you in LA
    D         G#m         D
Or says 'Hey, have a nice day'
D                    Bm
Must be cuz they're thinking
     G               A
And slowly drifting away
D              F#
Away from the movie stars
Bm             A     A7
Away from the car alarms
G               D          Bm             G  A
Away from the people who give them their way (?)

Bridge D F# Bm A A7 G D Bm G A

D       A              G
Nobody talks to you in LA
D                  G#m           D
They don't seem to have much to say
D                    Bm
They'll ask you for money
G                            A
But that's all that's given away
      D             F#
Some day I'm gonna find someone
Bm                  A       A7
Some day I'm gonna fall in love
G                  D           Bm          G   A
Some day if only someone will just look my way
      G             F#  G#m  D
But nobody looks at you in LA

G#m D

I love this song, and am really getting into this artist. Let me know if you find any mistakes (other than the obvious; that I haven't a clue what he says at the end of the second verse). Hey, let me know if you know what he says there. SpartacusGirl@ivillage.com
