E
by the look in your eyes
D
you’d think that it was a surprise
Bm
but you seem to forget
A
something somebody said
E
about the bubbles in the sea
D G
and an ocean full of trees

Cmaj7 Fmaj7 Cmaj7 Fmaj7
and you now , l . A . , uptight
Cmaj7 Fmaj7
city in the smog , city in the smog
Cmaj7 Fmaj7
don’t you wish that you could be here too?
Cmaj7 Fmaj7

E
well , it’s hard to believe
D
so you get up to leave
Bm
and you laugh at the door
A
that you heard it all before
E
oh it’s so good to know
D G
that it’s all just a show for you

E
but when the suppers are planned
D
and the freeways are crammed
Bm
and the mountains erupt
A
and the valley is sucked
E
into cracks in the earth
