Stranded In Los Angeles Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D][G][D][G]
[D]She said, "There are things
about you I [G]don't really understand."
[D]I a[Bm]m drinking in the afternoon,
[G]got whiskey on my breath.
[D]And as I walk through Greenwich Village,
with a [G]suitcase full of clothes,
[D]I am [Bm]blinded by the afternoon
[G]and unsure where to go.
[D]Yes I'm[G] blinded by [Bm]the afternoon
[G]and unsure where [D]to go.
Will [G]you come for me on days

[Verse 2]
[G]like this
when I [Bm]am broken down?
'Cause I've [G]been strangled by
an emptiness that's still [Bm]choking me now.
I [G]have prayed for absolution that
won't ever come around...
So if you love [Em]me, won't
[G]you please forgive [D]me now?

[Verse 3]
Then I try [D]to call my mother,
but [G]she's not around to talk,
[D]So [G]I wander [Bm]through the fading day,
[G]oblivious and lost.
[D]Yes I know I'm getting older,
chas[G]ing time that slips away.
[D]Point [Bm]my headlights towards the interstate,
[G]it's time for my [D]es cape.
Point [G]my head[Bm]lights towards the interstate,
[G]it's time for my [D]escape.
I am [G]sorry

[Verse 4]
for the things [D]I've done,
[G]don't try [Bm]to let you down.
In [G]my dreams at night I hear your voice,
and I'm shaken [Bm]by the sound.
Now I'm [G]stranded in Los Angeles
and you're all I think about.
So if you love [Em]me, won't [G]you please
forgive me [D]now?

[Verse 5]
I hope there's [G]a million stars above [D]you,
And [G]everything you need,
I hope it [D]finds you.
Every [G]breath you breathe,
hope it comes [D]easy...
I hope it's [A]easy.
I've got [D]a picture in my wallet

[Verse 6]
[G]of a girl I used [D]to know,
[G]And another [Bm]of my family,
it's been [G]too long since I've been home.
[D]Now I'm waiting on a train,
where I'll [G]end up, God [D]only knows.
May[Bm]be I'll make my way back to her,
[G]but I guess I probably [D]won't.
May[Bm]be I'll make my way back to her,
[G]but I guess I probably [D]won't.
You [G]are somewhere far away

[Verse 7]
[G]from
me; I'm here [Bm]all by myself.
Through the [G]space between the two of us,
wish I [Bm]had something else.
'Cause I'd [G]surrender up most anything
if I thought it'd help somehow.
So if you love [Em]me, won't
[G]you please forgive [D]me now?
If you love [Em]me, won't
[G]you please forgive me now?
[D]
