Bb             C         F        Fmaj7
I was sitting in the Hollywood Hawaiian Hotel
      Bb             C           Dm
I was staring in my empty coffee cup
      A7                A7/G         Dm    Gm
I was thinking that the gypsy wasn't lying
        F                       
All the salty margaritas in Los Angeles
     C
I'm gonna drink 'em up


[Chorus]
       Bb          C       Bb     F
And if California slides into the ocean
         Bb           Am        Gm     F
Like the mystics and statistics say it will
 Ddim                        Am       Gm             F     Bb  C
I predict this motel will be standing until I pay my bill 

              Bb  Am   Gm    C           F
But don't the sun look angry through the trees?
          Bb    Am         Gm   C    Dm
Don't the trees look like crucified thieves?
                                         Gm7
Don't you feel like Desperados under the eaves
Gm            Csus4 C   Fsus4 F
Heaven help the one who leaves


[Verse 2]
Gm                                   Dm
Still waking up in the mornings with shaking hands
        F                              C      Dm
And I'm trying to find a girl who understands me
      A                     A/G         Dm     C
But except in dreams you're never really free
          Bb  Am   Gm    C  F
Don't the sun look angry at me?


[Verse 3] 
     Bb             C         F        Fmaj7      
I was sitting in the Hollywood Hawaiian Hotel
      Bb                C              Dm
I was listening to the air conditioner hum

       Dm   C   F          
It went mmm mmm mmmm mmmm mmm
        Bb  F    C
mmm mmm mmmm mmmm mmm

 
     Dm   C    F 
Look away down Gower Avenue 
      Bb  F    C       
Look away
     Dm   C    F 
Look away down Gower Avenue
     Bb  F    C
Look away
     Dm   C    F       
Look away down Gower Avenue
     Bb  F    C
Look away
     Dm   C    F   
Look away down Gower Avenue
     Bb  F    C
Look away
