The Airborne Toxic Event - California

^F#Someday they're going to write about us, living ^C#here in the shadow of this gathering dust. As the ^D#mwaves build up and ^Bdrown the light, While we're ^F#hanging from buildings on a ^C#Saturday night.

And the ^F#words she said...I could barely hear over the ^C#blare of the speakers and the smell of beer, As she got ^D#mup to speak, she ^Blifted her dress. I re^F#member her face but I for^C#get the rest.

Here in ^BCalifornia, ^F#I was Just a name and a ^C#number, a face in a ^D#mtumbler. Here in ^BCalifornia, ^F#we're all stuck in the ^C#same scene, all nightmares and ^D#mdaydreams in ^D#mCa - ^C#li - ^Bfo - ^C#or - ^F#nia.

She ^F#said, "I got money, but I got no friends," as we ^C#drove through the valley in her daddy's Benz. She said, "These ^D#mpills wear off, but the ^Bpain don't end. I never ^F#thought it would matter so ^C#much to pretend."

And the ^F#thing about her that haunts me still as her ^C#hands fell down to the steering wheel, And a ^D#mshock of light fell ac^Bross her face, she said there's ^F#only two ways out ^C#of this place.

Here in ^BCalifornia, ^F#I was Just a name and a ^C#number, a face on a ^D#mtumblr. Here in ^BCalifornia, ^F#we're all stuck in the ^C#same scene, all nightmares and ^D#mdaydreams in ^D#mCa - ^C#li - ^Bfo - ^C#or - ^F#nia.

^D#mOh, I hope it's ^F#clear. There's no ^D#mroom for us anymore in the atmos^F#phere, but ^Bdarling I always ^C#liked the desper^Bation in your ^C#eyes, The way you ^D#mdance in the ^C#glow of the ^BHollywood ^C#freeway ^F#lights.

^F#Someday they're gonna forget about us and we'll ^C#wonder if we were ever good enough. It ^D#mhit me last night in this ^Bsong I heard. I re^F#member the feeling but for^C#get all the words.

Here in ^BCalifornia, ^F#I was just a name and a ^C#number, a face on a ^D#mtumblr. Here in ^BCalifornia, ^F#mwe're all stuck in the ^C#same scene, all nightmares and ^D#mdaydreams in ^D#mCa - ^C#li - ^Bfo - ^C#or - ^F#nia. In ^D#mCa - ^C#li - ^Bfo - ^C#or - ^F#nia.
