God Take Me Out Of La

[Verso 1]

 
G 
I need the snow to fall on me 
  C                  G 
I need four weeks of rain 
                                        C                G 
I need to feel grass under my feet, and when I feel that pain 
Am                              C 
I need the sky to darken up and show me it knows my name 
  D 
I can't see the sun shine one more time 
C                    G 
God, take me out of LA 


[Verso 2]


G 
I miss my mama and the way she looks 
         C        G 
That one hazy memory 
G 
Whether it's true don't matter to me 
     C             G 
It's real, and I believe 
    Am                               C 
And when I go home, you know that it hurts to hear them say 
Am              D 
When he goes to Hollywood 
      C                   G 
Could God take me out of LA? 



[Refrão]

Em             D       G       C 
God, won't you take me out of LA? 
      Em                    D               G         C 
Feels strange to ask 'cause I'm the on who wanted to stay 
            Em                      D 
And I'm not built for this, I can't handle it 
      G     D     Em   C 
But I still can't get away 
                     G   C 
God, tak me out of LA 


[Verso 3]


  G 
I hate it here, is what I'd say 
   C                 G 
If I lost half of my mind 
G 
The desert air don't agree with me 
    C                       G 
But mostly it's working out fine 
  Am                           C 
Except for when I want to know something like the Earth 
  D7 
Except for when I'm feeling cursed 
            C                    G 
Screaming, "God, take me out of LA" 


[Verso 4]


G                                  C         G 
Round every corner, I run into you all over again 
G 
And maybe we'll always fight like this 
    C             G 
But can I just pretend 
Am                                 C 
That I'd lose you on foot, running square away from this place 
     Am                   D 
Even though you'd show up anyway 
   C                    G 
Oh God, take me out of LA 



[Refrão]
 
Em             D       G       C 
God, won't you take me out of LA? 
      Em                    D               G         C 
Feels strange to ask 'cause I'm the one who wanted to stay 
    Em                    D 
Not built for this, can't handle it 
      G     D     Em   C 
But I still can't get away 
C 
I'm so lonely in this place 
                             Em  D  G  Em  C 
Please, God, take me out of LA 


[Verso 5]


G 
When I'm gone, I miss the light 
       C              G 
How it felt across my face 
G 
I miss how there was no urgency 
             C           G 
Should I go, or should I stay? 
Am 
That right there is the problem 
         C 
Couldn't make one single choice 
           Am 
And at the end of the day 
     D            C                   G 
I'll always say, "God took me out of LA"
