Okay, my first one was wrong. Here's a much better one.
I haven't notated the strumming patterns, I'm sure you can figure them out on your own.

Capo on 4th fret (3rd fret live)

Intro (after bass): D A E x2

Verse:
ELaurel (022100@1)was a girl I knew, made of dirt and stone
F#mPretty (244222@1)hip in younger years, but now she sits alone
       A (x02220@1)
With a hundred thousand architectural disasters that
         E (022100@1)      
She calls homes
EBeverly (022100@1)Glen was pretty, all the rich boys loved her curves
    F#mShe (244222@1)tried to get the credit, sometimes more than she deserved
          ALike (x02220@1)those cheesy 80's movies, epitomizing all things
            EWe'd (022100@1)come to know

Chorus: D A E x2

Verse 2:
EBeachwood (022100@1)was a boheme from the sexy 60's scene
F#mGrew (244222@1)up east of west Hollywood and somewhere in between
        AAll (x02220@1)the madness Laurel puts up with, 
                            E (022100@1)
But somehow always tolerates a scene
ENicols, (022100@1)he had a way with the performing arts
  F#m
A&R guys having cookouts on his back with super stars
       ABut (x02220@1)he had some nasty habits and some potholes to
                  E (022100@1)Cover up this drama queen

Chorus: D A E x2

Verse 3:
ESometimes (022100@1)Beachwood yelled at Laurel over terms of selling out
F#mThen (244222@1)Laurel yelled at Beverly for not knowing what life's about
         A (x02220@1)  
With her trust fund friends and family, it felt like an earthquake
          EWhen (022100@1)she'd shout
    EAnd (022100@1)Silverlake just stood there, with her nose up in the air
        F#mPushing (244222@1)up her horn rimmed glasses saying, 
                               A"I (x02220@1)don't fucking care about the madness all you idiots are buying,
            E (022100@1)     
Selling and leasing up there"

Chorus: D A E x2
ESan (022100@1)Fernando was a struggling actor who drove a deli truck 
       F#mOn (244222@1)the sets of porno movies, he was just trying to make a buck
          AWhile (x02220@1)his pilot was in escrow, he dreamed of
                   EDating (022100@1)Beverly one day

Chorus: D A E x12
