Em                                D            
It hasn't rained hard for the better part of seven months 
C                G                   
Everyone's listening 
Em                              D
All I see ahead of me are glistening lights 
      C                 G
This city stays up at night 
Em                        D                  C        G
Droning along like a dissonant song by an amateur symphony 
Em                   D                                C                                            
How come I can only tell you I love you when you're sleeping in the passenger 
  D
seat? 

              G                   Em
And all the fast cars with the broken headlights 
  C                          D                                 
Run the red lights in the canyon 
             G            Em                                          
But I can taste it, the rain is coming 
     C                       D                                    
To clear the air over Los Angeles 

   Em                    D
Maybe it'll bring the hillside down 
   C                     G
Maybe it'll flood the streets 
  Em                          D                                
Maybe when I tell you that I love you forever 
      C                G                                                                
I'm gonna make a fool of me 
     Em                              D                 
But I've got the windows down, the heater on my feet 
          C           G                                                          
And the skies are opening 
       Em                           D                          C               
It's gonna come pouring down it's gonna come pouring out I'm gonna say 
   D
everything 

              G                   Em                                                    
And all the fast cars with the broken headlights 
 C                           D                                                              
Run the red lights in the canyon 
            G             Em                                                                      
But I can taste it, the rain is coming 
      C                      D                                  
To clear the air over Los Angeles 
        
     C                          G                                                     
The road is winding and it's barely lit 
       Em                              Am                                   
You never know how far you're really gonna get 
      C                          Em                D                    
But when you live here you just learn to get used to it 

             G                   Em                            
And all the fast cars and the broken headlights 
       C                         D                                                       
And running red lights in the canyon 
             G          Em                                                    
Now it's raining, the haze is drowning 
      C                   D                                            
The air is clear over Los Angeles
