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 
D out 

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
