well i'm supposed to be studying for exams right now so i figured this would be 
the perfect time to dick around and write this out. the piano chords are posted 
on ron pope's myspace but this is just a really simple way of playing it on 
acoustic guitar, in a completely different key. i play it with a capo on the 
third fret for my voice.

intro: C G D Em
         C G D G        (i like to add my pinky to each chord so it kind of 
mimicks the piano version)


verse
C                      G                    D                     Em
i drove eleven hundred miles to find a photograph i'd lost

C              G                        D                     G
it's just a polaroid i used to keep of a girl that i once loved

C                         G                    D                    Em
and sleep, it leads to nightmares, as i never can forget

C                       G                  D                  G
so now i'm dreaming of los angeles as the winter closes in

C                      G                     D                  G
said i'm dreaming of los angeles as the winter closes in

and we met seven english girls who asked if we'd like to see God

C                          G                    D                     G
and i'm not one for missed adventures, so i answered with a smile

C                           G                   D                       Em
we spent the night on razor's edge, all innocence and sin

C                          G                    D                 G
and now i'm strung out on the bowery as the winter closes in

C                           G                   D                  G
now i'm strung out on the bowery as the winter closes in


chorus:
C                     G                      D                    Em
and i won't cry if you can't love me like the way it used to feel

C                         G                          D                          G
we had our summer on long island, now there's wounds that never healed

C                     G                      D                    Em
and i won't cry if you can't love me like the way it used to feel

C                         G                          D                          
we had our summer on long island, now there's wounds...that never healed

C                    G                  D                     Em
i'd paint a picture of my mother, but i can't recall her face

C                G                            D                            G
she's even far away at midnight, when her laughter haunts my dreams

C                      G                      D                    Em
i ain't never been this broken, i've got nothing left to give

C                  G                  D                     G
so now i'm searching for salvation as the winter closes in

C                     G                   D                 Em

C                    G                       D               G

post script: after i post this the chords will probably misplace themselves. im 
not really sure how to fix that.
