Intro:  G Bm Am C5 (x2) 

                            G                       Bm 
         She hangs around the boulevard 
                     Am                  C5 
         She's a local girl with local scars 

         She got home late, she got home late 

         She drank so hard the bottle ached 
 
         And she tried and she tried, and she tried and she tried 

         But nothing's clear in a bar full of flies 

         So she takes and she takes, she takes and she takes 

         She understands when she gives it away 
 

                                        G                       C               D 
                        She says, man I gotta get out of this town 

                        Man I gotta get out of this pain 

                        Man I gotta get out of this town 
                        C                        D 
                        Out of this town, and out of L.A. 
                                                                                 G Bm Am C5 
         She's gotta gun, she's gotta a gun 

         She gotta gun she call the lucky one 

         She left a note up by the phone 

         Don't leave a message cause this ain't no home 
 
         And she cried and she cried, and she cried and she cried 

         She cried so long her tears ran dry 

         And she laughed and she laughed, she laughed and she laughed 

         Cause she knew she was never comin' back 
 
                        She said, man I'm gonna get out of this town 

                        Man I'm gonna get out of this pain 

                        Man I'm gonna get out of this town 

                        Out of this town, and out of L.A. 
                                                       Em                      Em(7M) 
                                      It's all she loves, it's all she hates 
                                                       Em6                   C7M 
                                      It's all too much for her to take 

                                      She can't be sure just where it ends 

                                      Or where the good life begins 
 
         So she took a train, she took a train 

         To a little old town without a name 

         She met a man, he took her in 

         But fed her all the same bullshit, again 
 
         Cause he lied and he lied, and he lied and he lied 

         He lied like a salesman selling flies 

         So she screamed and she screamed, and she screamed and she screamed 

         It's a different place, but the same old thing 
 
                                      It's all I love, it's all I hate 

                                      It's all too much for me to take 

                                      I can't be sure where it begins 

                                      Or if the good life lies within 
 
                        So she said, man I gotta get out of this town 

                        Now I gotta get back on that train 

                        Man I gotta get out of this town 
                              C                     D                                 G    Bm Am C5 
                        I'm out of my pain, so I'm goin' back to L.A. 
                                                               G Bm Am C5 
                        Back to L.A, back to L.A. 

                        I'm goin' back to L.A. 

                        I'm goin' back to L.A.... 
                                                                                G to the end../
