The Neighbourhood - West coast

Me, I'm from a ^Cdifferent type of left land, ^Cold wild ^Dmwest land ^AmNosebleeds, palm trees, and ^Amtumbleweeds rustling ^C...Outsiders say it's happy ^Chere, but it's de^Dmpressing ^Am...Too many pretty faces ^Amcatching my attention So I ^Clook at them, remind my^Cself in the ^Dmsmudged glass That ^Ampretty isn't everything, you ^Ampunk ass. Always hard to ^Csee past the surface, when it ^Clooks so ^Dmperfect But our ^Ameyes will disguise dirt on ^Ampurpose, you listening?

^C...I grew up here. ^Cunder the ^Dmsun. In grade ^Amschool I was the odd one ^Amout of the bunch And I don't ^Cmean I was the kid to eat ^Cbugs for ^Dmlunch, I was the ^Amone who wasn't coming from where ^Amthey're coming from, uh ^C...I speak poetically, and ^Cnever pride my ^Dmignorance, ^Ambut this California shit is ^Amrigorous They say it's ^Chappy here, happiness is ^Cfigurative, I'm ^Dmhappy 'cause of ^Amme, doesn't matter where I'm ^Amliving in

Matter where, ^Cmatter where ^{C Dm Am Am} Matter where, ^Cmatter where ^{C Dm Am Am}

If the ^Amsun was ^AmGod, ^DmI'd be ^Amcovered in ^Amfaith, If the ^Amocean was the ^Amdevil, ^DmI'd be ^Amcovered in ^Amhate ^C...I'm ^Cso ^Dmwest ^Amcoast, it's a ^Amgoddamn shame ^C...I'm ^Cso ^Dmwest ^Amcoast, it's a ^Amgoddamn shame

I'm waking ^Cup underneath sheets, ^Cnaked still ^Dmsweating ^AmSlept in late so every^Ambody else is ready My ^Cfriend called up, he said, ^C"Hurry up, ^Dmbuddy, it's ^Amalmost sundown al^Amready." So I hopped ^Cup, I went and washed ^Cup, I ^Dmate some pa^Amsta, then I gave my mom ^Amhugs And then I thought, "^CUh, it's gonna be a ^Cpretty nice ^Dmnight." But ^Ampretty isn't everything, ^Amright?

Golden state ^Cmind, I'm taking my ^Ctime ^DmPlain white ^Amshirt, and a skinny black ^Amtie My top let ^Cdown when I get picked ^Cup ^DmP.C.^AmH. so Californ^Amia Maybe they were ^Cright; happiness ^Cis a warm ^Dmgun But be^Amfore you shoot, please warn ^Amus Life is too ^Cfun. Cali^Cfornia will you ^Dmmarry me? Let ^AmGod be the sun and in the ^Amocean they shall bury me ^{C C Dm}

^AmGod be the, God be the ^{Am C C Dm Am}God be the, God be the ^Am

If the ^Amsun was ^AmGod, ^DmI'd be ^Amcovered in ^Amfaith, If the ^Amocean was the ^Amdevil, ^DmI'd be ^Amcovered in ^Amhate ^C...I'm ^Cso ^Dmwest ^Amcoast, it's a ^Amgoddamn shame ^C...I'm ^Cso ^Dmwest ^Amcoast, it's a ^Amgoddamn shame ^C...I'm ^Cso ^Dmwest ^Amcoast, it's a ^Amgoddamn shame ^C...I'm ^Cso ^Dmwest ^Amcoast, it's a ^Amgoddamn shame
