F      G                    C
Ah the night, here it comes again
     F                      G              C
It's on with the jeans, the jacket and the shirt
F           G             C                     Am
How'd I end up feeling so bad for such a little girl
      F                     G          C
And I hold you close in the back of my mind
F                 G                C
Feels so good but damn it makes me hurt
    F                 G             Am    G        F
And I'm too scared to know to how I feel about you now
      F                    G         C       F  C  F
La Cienega just smiles, and "see ya around"

      F                     G          C
And I hold you close in the back of my mind
    F                G           C
And raise my glass 'cause either way I'm dead
F                     G          Am    G  F
Neither of you really help me to sleep anymore
              G            C
One breaks my body and the other breaks my soul
      F               G                C    F  C  F
La Cienega just smiles as it waves goodbye

How I feel about you now

La Cienega just smiles and says, "I'll see you around"
