In a matter of time
              D
There'll be a friend of mine
      Bm
Gonna come to the coast
             A
You're gonna see him
               E
Up close for a minute or two
          D             G
While the ground cracks under you.

       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
Don't you wish that you could be here too?

Don't you wish that you could be here too?

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
       D          G             Cmaj7
Will I finally be heard by you
 
Fmaj7   Cmaj7   Fmaj7
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?
