I've never tabbed a song before, but I LOVE this tune and figured out a very simple
version, really just utilizing the A and D chords. I'm hoping this basic version will spur
on to properly tab out this song.

A
It's just a slow progression
D
High-speed driving north through 95
A
Into the west five dozen friends
D
I'd like to blend my double life
A D
But it's the same old heirloom, same old bedrooms that hide our secret lives
A E D
Yes it's the same old lovers, same old covers that warm us through the night
A
My Tokyo sky
D
My Tokyo sky
A
My Tokyo sky
D
My Tokyo sky
A
I miss my fornication queen
D
My nation mourns her shortened life
A
Into the east my Japanese
D
Los Angeles swings through my mind
A D
But it's the same old doorway, same old runways that launch us towards the sky
A E D
Yes it's the same old lovers, same old covers that hide my double life
A
My Tokyo sky
D
My Tokyo sky
A
My Tokyo sky
D
My Tokyo sky
