C  Em  Am  F

[Chorus]
                 C      Em
I just gotta get out of L.A.
                   Am      F
I’ve been thing of running away
                 C           Em
I just gotta get out of this town
                  Am          F
Lately everyone’s bringing me down
                   C          Em
I’ve been making a run for my life
                     Am      F
I’m not sure if I’ll make it tonight
                      C            Em
Guess I’ve run out of things I can say
             Am
I just gotta get
                 F
I just gotta get out of L.A.

[Verse]
C
When I was young
Em                    Am                    Dm
My father told me not to cry in front of my mom
                       G
Said it’s time to grow up
C
Now that I’m older
Em                      Am                     Dm
I couldn’t tell you the last time I cried if I want
                  G
No time now to be young

[Pre-Chorus]
     C
So I put on a show
Em
Slap on a smile
Am                             F             C    Em
Don’t let them know you’re not doing all too fine
        Dm   G
I’ll be fine

[Chorus]
                 C      Em
I just gotta get out of L.A.
                   Am      F
I’ve been thing of running away
                 C           Em
I just gotta get out of this town
                  Am          F
Lately everyone’s bringing me down
                   C          Em
I’ve been making a run for my life
                     Am      F
I’m not sure if I’ll make it tonight
                      C            Em
Guess I’ve run out of things I can say
             Am
I just gotta get
                 F
I just gotta get out of L.A.

[Bridge]
Dm
Everyone comes here
    Ddim7
But nobody leaves
           Dm
Yeah we’re all only actors
         F
No one’s actually happy
         Dm
It’s all who do know and when did you know them
Ddim7
Not where you’re from but where are you going
Dm                                 C
How can you help me get to where I need
     Dm            G                   C
When everything is going right they’re on your side
    Dm                     G.                    C
But just as your luck runs out they’re harder to find

Dm  Ddim7

I’ve been thing of running away
                 C           Em
I just gotta get out of this town
                  Am          F
Lately everyone’s bringing me down
