    E
Los Angeles
A                               E           A
Give me a miracle, I just want out from this
I've done my share of helping with your defense
But now I can't dismiss
It's killing me
Hometown of mine
Just got back from the boulevard, can't stop crying
The guy at the corner shop gave me a line and
a smile
I know he was trying
But a lie is a lie

Chorus:
          C#m                         A
Oh, these days, these days, I can't win
      C#m                  A
These days I can't see no visions
      E        B      A
I'm breakin', losin' faith
       B           E
These days, these days
        B           A
(These days, these days)
       B            E
These days, these days
        B            A B
(These days, these days)

New York is cold
I tried the winter there once, nope
Clearly the greatest city in the world
But it was not my home
I felt more alone

Chorus:
These days, these days, I can't win
These days, I can't see no visions
I'm breaking, losing faith
These days, these days
(These days, these days)
I'm thinking about leaving

     E           B7
Sometimes I speed  down Crescent Heights
C#m                   G#
Can't hardly feel it running every light
A                  E                 G#m
But I wasn't fazed, 'cause it wasn't mine
             B7
Was I just dreaming?

Chorus:
           E                   B
And every time I think I might
                         C#m      G#
Leave this city for the first time
                 A         E
I wake up on the other side
            G#m                 B7
Wondering, "Was I just dreamin'?"

             E                              B7
Was I just dreamin'? (Send my love, send my tears)
                      C#m                G#
Oh (wavin' back to my fears)(City of mine)
             A                               E
Was I just dreamin'? (Send my love, send my tears)
                    G#m               B7
(Wavin' back to my fears)(City of mine)
