G Bm
She hangs around the boulevard
C9
She's a local girl with local scars
G Bm
She got home late (she got home late)
C9
She drank so hard the bottle ached
G Bm
And she tried and she tried(tried and she tried)
C9
But nothings clear in a bar full of flies
G Bm
So she takes and she takes(takes and she takes)
C9
She understands when she gives it away
Chorus
She says
G C9 D
Man I gotta get out of this town
G C9 D
Man I gotta get out of this pain
G C9 D
Man I gotta get out of this town
C9 G
Outta this town and outta L.A.
G Bm
She's got a gun (she's got a gun)
C9
Got a gun she called the lucky one
G Bm
She left a note right by the phone
C9
Don't leave a message cause thie ain't no home
G Bm
And she cried and she cried(she cried and she cried)
C9
Cried so long her tears ran dry
G Bm
Then she laughed and she laughed(laughed and she laughed)
C9
Cause she knew she was never coming back
Chorus
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/b/beth_hart/la_song_crd.html ]
Bridge
G C9
It's all she loves, it's all she hates
Bm C9
It's all too much for her to take
G C9
She can't be sure just where it ends
Bm C9
Or where the good life begins
G Bm
So she took a train(she took a train)
C9
To a little old town without a name
G Bm
She met a man, he took her in
C9
And fed her all the same bullshit again
G Bm
Cause he lied and he lied(lied and and he lied)
C9
Lied like a salesman selling flies
G Bm
So she screamed and she screamed(screamed and she screamed)
C9
It's a dfferent place but the same old thing
Second bridge
G C9
It's all I love, it's all i hate
Bm C9
It's all too much for me to take
G C9
And i can't be sure just where it ends
Bm C9
Or if the good life lies within
Last chorus
so she said
G C9 D
Man i gotta get out of this town
G C9 D
Yeah now i gotta get back on that train
G C9 D
Man i gotta get out of this town
C9 G
I'm outta pain, so I'm going back to L.A.
G Bm C9 x4 end on G
