The Neighbourhood - West coast

I'm from a ^Emdifferent type of left land ^GOld Wild ^AmWest land ^EmNosebleeds, palms trees, and tumble weeds rustling ^EmOutside they say it's happy ^Ghere but it's de^Ampressing ^EmTo many pretty face catching my attention So I ^Emlook at them, remind my^Gself in the ^Amsmudged glass That ^Empretty isn't everything, you punk ass Always hard to ^Emsee past the surface When it ^Glooks so ^Amperfect But her ^Emeyes will ^Amdisguise dirt on ^Empurpose

^EmI grew up here ^Gunder the ^Amsun In grade ^Emschool I was the odd one out of the bunch And I don't ^Emmean I was the kid to eat ^Gbugs for ^Amlunch I was the ^Emone who wasn't coming from where ^Amtheir coming ^Emfrom ^EmI speak poetically and ^Gnever pride my ^Amignorance ^EmBut this California shit is rigorous They say it's ^Emhappy here, happiness is ^Gfigurative I'm ^Amhappy cause of ^Emme doesn't matter where I'm living

If the ^Emsun was ^Ggod ^AmI'd be ^Emcovered in faith If the ^Emocean was the ^Gdevil ^AmI'd be ^Emcovered in hate ^GI'm ^Amso west ^Emcoast, it's a god damn shame (x2)

I'm waking ^Emup underneath sheets, ^Gnaked, still ^Amsweating ^EmSlept in late so everybody else is ready My ^Emfriend called up he said "^GHurry up, ^AmBuddy, it's ^Emalmost sun down already". So I hopped ^Emup I went and washed ^Gup I ^Amate some past^Ema then I gave my mom hugs Then I thought ^Emuh it's gonna be a ^Gpretty nice ^Amnight But ^Empretty isn't ^Ameverything ^Emright? Golden state ^Emmind I'm taking my ^Gtime ^AmPlain white ^Emshirt and a skinny black tie My top let ^Emdown when I get picked ^Gup ^AmP.C.^EmH so California Maybe they were ^Emright Happiness ^Gis a warm ^Amgun But ^Embefore you shoot please warn us Life is too ^Amfun

Let ^Amgod be the sun And then the ocean they shall bury^Em me

If the ^Emsun was ^Ggod ^AmI'd be ^Emcovered in faith If the ^Emocean was the ^Gdevil ^AmI'd be ^Emcovered in hate ^GI'm ^Amso west ^Emcoast it's a god damn shame (x4)
