     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
                  D           G
     While the ground cracks under you.
 
Riff
 
              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
              D     G
     And an ocean full of trees.
 
        Cmaj7     Fmaj7
     And you now, L.A.
      Cmaj7  Fmaj7 Cmaj7             Fmaj7
     Uptight,      city in the smog, city in the smog.
      Cmaj7                                     Fmaj7
     Don't you wish that you could be here too?
     Cmaj7                                      Fmaj7
     Don't you wish that you could be here too?
     Cmaj7                                      Fmaj7
     Don't you wish that you could be here too?
 
F Em F,   F Em C,  F Em F
 
 
     Well, it's hard to believe
     So you get up to leave
     And you laugh at the door
     That you heard it all before
     Oh it's so good to know
     That it's all just a show for you.
     But when the suppers are planned
     And the freeways are crammed
     And the mountains erupt
     And the valley is sucked
     Into cracks in the earth
     Will I finally be heard by you.
 
     L.A.
     Uptight, city in the smog, city in the smog.
     Don't you wish that you could be here too?
     Don't you wish that you could be here too?
     Don't you wish that you could be here too?
