Grey in L.A.


CAPO II


INTRO: G  D  C  G  C  G  D  G  D  C  G  C  D  G

          G         D         C            G
When it's grey in L.A. I sure like it that way
             C               G            D
There's just way too much sunshine 'round here
        G          D          C          G
I don't know about you, I get so sick of blue skies
    C         D        G
Wherever they always appear


And I sure love the sound of the rain pourin' down
On my carport roof made out of tin
If there's a flood then there's gonna be mudslides
We all have to pay for our sin


BRIDGE:
C       G                  C            G
And I suppose that they'll close canyon roads
        C             G            D
And the freeways will all start to clog
        G           D           C            G
And the waters will rise and you won't be surprised
          Am                            D
When your whole house smells like a wet dog


When it's grey in L.A. it's much better that way
It reminds you that this town's so cruel
Yeah it might feel like fun when you're sportin' sunglasses
But really you're just one more fool


INTRO


And I'm just a chump and this whole town's a dump
We came out here to dump all our dreams
We're makin' it big but we're stuck in a singular
Nightmare, that's just how it seems


BRIDGE:
And I suppose Laurie David sure knows
All those cars we drive heat up our earth
And see temperatures rise and those constant blue skies
And brush fires can sure curb your mirth


Brad Grey's in L.A. yeah okay I should stay here
There's no place that's better I know
For a wannabe star stuck in a car
On a freeway with nowhere to go

When it's grey in L.A. I sure like it that
'Cause there's just way too much sunshine 'round here
I don't know about you I get so sick of blue skies
Wherever they always appear
