[Verse]
E F#
The gentleman's in the lane
Em C
Spinning his hat on a cane
A C
Stepping out, out for a change
D F C
Good morning all, it's a beautiful day
E F#
The generals are winning the war
Em C A
Seemed suicidal before you came along
C
Now, now
D F C
I'll protect you, long as you'll stay
[Chorus]
E F#
L.A.
C Cm D G
Morning had to come, I'd be walking in the sun
F#
Living in the day
C D E
But last night I was about to throw it all away
[Verse]
E F#
If patience started a band
Em C
I'd be her biggest fan
A C
Look at me, I'm talking to you
D F C
I don't want the lead in your play
E F#
The star's just a part of the scene
Em C
The gentleman in green
A C
Paying off, out on the street
D F C
I can't go home, it's not on my way
[Chorus]
E F#
L.A.
C Cm D G
Things I've never done, cars parked in the sun
F#
Living in the day
C D E
But last night I was about to throw it all away
C D E
Last night I was about to throw it all away
C D E
Last night I was about to throw it all away
C D E
