               Bm                       F#
I get sick of sunshine, on my perfect skin
             A                       E
Vapid conversation, giving me head-spins
                 Bm                      F#
Driving down Mulholland, closing both my eyes
             A                                E
'Cause they say you get more famous when you die

                    G
And everyone seems fine
                F#
Am I losing my mind?

Chorus:
        Bm                          F#
I'm so tired of California, I'm so tired of L.A
           A
Where the real thing comes as often, as the
 E
California rain
      Bm                             F#
I got all these legal toxins in my blood
and in my brain
        A                              E
I keep saying that I'm leaving but it doesn't
work that way

I can't feel my heartbeat way up in the Hills
Burning down my mansion, didn't write a will
Front row at my funeral, crocodile tears
Came here for the weekend, but I haven't left
in years
(Is that weird?)

Chorus

Bm             F#
 Can I be young forever?
A                E
 Would it be fun, forever?
Bm             F#
 Can I be young forever?
A                E
 Would it be fun, forever?

Chorus - x2
