A-4
E-4
Intro: B
B G#m
Sunlight hits a sign and I'm in Union Station
F# B
My arms are heavy in their sleeves
B G#m
Everyone here thinks that I've been on vacation
F# B F#
But I don't ever seem to leave
E B
And all that I can tell you is my love's unfocused
G#m F#
And drifting overseas
E B
Head's all full of context better left unspoken
G#m F# B
As scenes from old Pomona dreams come washing over me
B G#m
No one wants to tell you just how long they've been here
F# B
The stars are crawling out their frames
B G#m
The canvas on the ankle straps is wearing thin, dear
F# B F#
And I can't help but feel the same
E F# G#m C#add9
When everything in town's been taken down for renovations
E F# G#m
The hardest part is finding your way home
E F# G#m C#add9
Freeway cuts the sky and I'm inside it's suppurations
E G#
But Southern California's got this way of creeping up on you
E B
And all that I can tell you is my love's unfocused
G#m F#
And drifting overseas
E B
Head's all full of context better left unspoken
G#m F# B
As scenes from old Pomona dreams come washing over me
B G#m
One last look around and then I'm always leaving
F# B
The stars are falling out of tune
B G#m
Fingers bear the stains of shipping and receiving
F# B F#
These songs that carry me to you
E F# G#m C#add9
But this is not some list of all the ways I should have loved you
E F# G#m
Hold you in my arms and let you down
E F# G#m C#add9
Turn my crooked smile up to the sky and I'm thinking of you
E F#
But Southern California's got me driving home in rental cars
E F# G#m Bbm B
And Southern California's got this way of tearing me and you apart
C# G#m Bbm B C# G#m Bbm B C#
And you know it's true, California's tearing us apart
G#m Bbm B C#
And I want it to
E B
But all that I can tell you is my love's unfocused
G#m F#
And drifting overseas
E B
Head's all full of context better left unspoken
G#m F# B
As scenes from old Pomona dreams come washing over me
