More chords by Butch Walker

Genre: rock, pop, alternative


Capo on 4th fret (3rd fret live)
Intro (after bass): D A E x2

Verse:
E
Laurel was a girl I knew, made of dirt and stone
Am
Pretty hip in younger years, but now she sits alone
C
With a hundred thousand architectural disasters
E
She calls homes
E
Beverly Glen was pretty, all the rich boys loved her curves
Am
She tried to get the credit sometimes

More than she deserved
C
Like those cheesy 80's movies, epitomizing all things
E
We'd come to know
Chorus: D A E x2

Verse 2:
E
Beachwood was a boheme from the sexy 60's scene
Am
Grew up east of west Hollywood and somewhere in between
C
All the madness Laurel puts up with,
E
But somehow always tolerates a scene
E
Nicols, he had a way with the performing arts
Am
A&R guys having cookouts on his back with super stars
C
But he had some nasty habits and some potholes to
E
Cover up this drama queen
Chorus: D A E x2

Verse 3:
E
Sometimes Beachwood yelled at Laurel over terms of selling out
Am
Then Laurel yelled at Beverly for not knowing what life's about
C
With her trust fund friends and family, it felt like an earthquake
E
When she'd shout
E
And Silverlake just stood there, with her nose up in the air
Am
Pushing up her horn rimmed glasses saying,
C
"I don't fucking care about the madness all you idiots are buying,
E
Selling and leasing up there"
