E In a matter of time
D There'll be a friend of mine
Bm Gonna come to the coast
A You're gonna see him
E Up close for a minute or two
DG While the ground cracks under you.
E By the look in your eyes
D You'd think that it was a surprise
Bm But you seem to forget
A Something somebody said
E About the bubbles in the sea
DG And an ocean full of trees
 
Cmaj7Fmaj7Cmaj7Fmaj7 And you now, L.A., Uptight
Cmaj7Fmaj7 City in the smog, city in the smog
Cmaj7Fmaj7 Don't you wish that you could be here too?
Cmaj7Fmaj7 Don't you wish that you could be here too?

E Well, it's hard to believe
D So you get up to leave
Bm And you laugh at the door
A That you heard it all before
E Oh it's so good to know
DG That it's all just a show for you
E But when the suppers are planned
D And the freeways are crammed
Bm And the mountains erupt
A And the valley is sucked
E Into cracks in the earth
DGCmaj7 Will I finally be heard by you
