Capo 5
Standard Tuning

C  E  Am  Dm x4

C                  E
The crowd began to wave
         Am       Dm
From the freeway overpass
C             E
We joined the parade
   Am            Dm
right behind the marching band
C
And You said
E                 Am                 Dm
"Wave back, cause these are the best days of your life."
C 
And I said
E                 Am            Dm
"I know, I can't feel anything"

    G             Am         
And up, up on the Ferris wheel
C         G                Am
I can see L.A. and all the freeways
C             G
I can see your face
Am
so close to me
C                 G
And I can dream my dreams

And light the night
Am                C
like a drive in movie screen
(ya know....)

C E Am Dm x2

     C          E
On a hot summer day
      Am            Dm
We laughed in the Polaroid
C               E
Counted all the ways,
     Am          Dm
To slow down our time machine
C         E       Am
And in my mind all I could
          Dm
think was that love is war
C       E                  Am            Dm
And you know I'd surrender anything

    G             Am         
And up, up on the Ferris wheel
C         G                Am
I can see L.A. and all the freeways
C             G
I can see your face
Am
so close to me
C                 G
And I can dream my dreams

And light the night
Am                C
like a drive in movie screen

E                        Am
Oh no, I don't want to be another

scar on a bar stool
in East Los Angeles.
