E                     E/F#                  A
There's the part you've braced yourself against, and then
B                     E
There's the other part
      E               E/F#                      A
Steal up inclining northward streets with some
         B               E
Weird sickness in the dark

C#m7                    A
Saw your name on the sidewalk
         E                   A
Saw your brave face in my mind
          E
If you're gonna sit next to the dealer
                  B
You get to bet blind


[Chorus]
E
Never get away, never get away
             A                 B         E
I am never, ever gonna get away from this place
E               E/F#              A
Laid out on the street, my eyes toward the sun
     B                   E
Your star next to my face


[Verse 2]
      E          E/F#             A
The compasses I came into this world with
       B                 E
Never really worked so good
 E               E/F#              A
Gentle shadows spilling down the hills
B                      E
Up on Mulholland at Ledgewood

     C#m7           A
Turn back, turn back
E               G#m                 A
Find someone to tell your secrets to
       E
Dream past an old hotel on Ivy
                          B
And seconds later, I saw you


[Chorus]
E
Never get away, never get away
             A                  B         E
I am never, ever gonna get away from this place
E               E/F#              A
Laid out on the street, my eyes toward the sun
     B                   E
Your star next to my face


[Bridge]
Amaj7
Let the camera track me
         E
From the footlights to the wings
Amaj7
Let me set aside an hour or two
                   B
In memory of sweet things


[Verse 3]
   E              E/F#                           A
Regrind the lens again and again and again and again
      B                 E
But still the picture flips
  E                          E/F#
Anyone here mentions "Hotel California" dies before    (this is the part I deem dubious)
      A                         B
The first line clears his lips


[Chorus]
E
Never get away, never get away
             A                  B         E
I am never, ever gonna get away from this place
E               E/F#              A
Laid out on the street, my eyes toward the sun
     B                   E
Your star next to my face
