Capo 5 


Intro: C  E  Am  Dm (4x) 

C                  E 
The crowd began to wave 
         Am       Dm 
From the freeway overpass 
C             E 
We joined the parade 
   Am            Dm 
right behind the marching band 
C 
And You said 
E                 Am                 Dm 
"Wave back, cause these are the best days of your life." 
C  
And I said 
E                 Am            Dm 
"I know, I can't feel anything" 

    G             Am          
And up, up on the Ferris wheel 
C         G                Am 
I can see L.A. and all the freeways 
C             G 
I can see your face 
Am 
so close to me 
C                 G 
And I can dream my dreams 

And light the night 
Am                C 
like a drive in movie screen 
(ya know....) 

C E Am Dm (2x) 

     C          E 
On a hot summer day 
      Am            Dm 
We laughed in the Polaroid 
C               E 
Counted all the ways, 
     Am          Dm 
To slow down our time machine 
C         E       Am 
And in my mind all I could 
          Dm 
think was that love is war 
C       E                  Am            Dm 
And you know I'd surrender anything 

    G             Am          
And up, up on the Ferris wheel 
C         G                Am 
I can see L.A. and all the freeways 
C             G 
I can see your face 
Am 
so close to me 
C                 G 
And I can dream my dreams 

And light the night 
Am                C 
like a drive in movie screen 

E                        Am 
Oh no, I don't want to be another 

scar on a bar stool 
in East Los Angeles. 

C E Am Dm
