Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]Well I love New York like [A]everyone
And I [D]go to Las Vegas to [G]Chill
I like [C]Denver Colorado cause
it's [A]so laid back
And [D]Chicago keeps it [G]real
I [C]only leave Dallas when I [A]have to, but
When I [D]do I like Tulsa, [G]OK
And I [C]ain't got [Em]nothing
against [A]Califor[Em]nia
But [F]I can't s[G]tand L[C]A
[G]Well Or

[Verse 2]
[C]lando Florida is
[A]humid but it's swell
Austin and [D]Nashville both freakin'
[G]rock (yes they do! )
And New [C]Orleans is evil but
it's [A]part of the appeal
You can [D]gamble drink and
swear until [G]you drop
[C]The state of Ohio's been
[A]great to our band
Along [D]with Phili and Green [G]Bay
I got [C]nothing but [Em]love for [A]Holly[Em]wood
But [F]I can't s[G]tand LA

[Verse 3]
I [C]like Salt Lake City, Portland,
[A]Frisco, Santa Fe
[D]Indianappolis and Hartford, [G]too
[C]Boise, Memphis, Souix Falls,
and of [A]course KC
Along with [D]Pittsburg and Kalama[G]zoo
[C]Atlanta is our home [A]away from home and
here's [D]a shout out [G]to [D]Sau[C]get[A][C]
And I wish my [Em]friends would
[A]leave that [Em]place
'Cause [F]I can't s[G]tand L[C]A[Em]

[Verse 4]
Traffic [A]Sucks
No protected lefts
[Em]Snooty fucks
Pol[A]lution fills the [Em]air
Gang [A]Fights
$7 beers
And [G]the threat of breaking
[Em]off into the s[D]ea

[Verse 5]
(And now to give LA [D]the benefit
of the doubt)
Jimmy Kimmel In and Out and [B]great sushi
And di[Em]versity every[A]where
[D]Really hot chicks [C#m]wearing [B]next to nothing
And the [Em]Santa Monica [A]Pier
Thank you [D]for hair metal and [B]the
84 olympics and for [Em]the BFS radio [A]play
But [D]please don't [C#m]take this p[B]ersonally
[A]No I'm hap[D]py to vis[C#m]it,
but I'm [B]happier to [G]leave
And I [D]guess what it [C#m]is
I'm [B]trying to say [F#m]is
[G]I can't s[A]tand[D]
[A]LA!
