Tim Minchin — Leaving La

Текст песни с аккордами

    	    	Вступление

[Intro]
Bb Gm Dm Eb9

[Verse]
Bb                                Gm
Check the locks and leave the keys
Dm                                Eb9
Moldy bath masked with Febreeze
            Bb                         Gm
Something's dead behind the refrigerator
Dm                                     Eb9
Some poor shmuck will deal with it later
Bb                         Gm
I've spent the last 10 weeks
Dm                                        Eb9
Squeezing out the sponge of friendships, plugging leaks

[Prechorus]
Bb                                   Eb9b5
I've talked until there's no more to say
Dm         Ebmaj7
I'm going away

[Chorus]
Bb          Ebmaj7 Dm#5       Ebmaj7/6
I'm leaving LA,    I'm leaving LA
N.C.
And the tourists say
C7(add9)
Please give me the directions to the Hollywood sign
         Ebmaj7
I always dreamt of coming here to see the Hollywood sign
            C7(add9)
But on their way back down they'll ask
        C7(add9)
Did you have a good time
                 Ebmaj7                              Ebmaj7
They'll say it's just some frickin' letters on a hill

But Still...      (Interlude is Ebmaj7/Ebmaj9)

(Interlude ends on a Bbmaj7 just before Tim goes back into the verse.)
Bbmaj7

[Verse]
Bb                               Gm
I wander through the Bronson Caves
            Dm                         Eb9
One more OK coffee at The Oak's Gourmet
     Bb                          Gm
I'll watch the players at the UCB
                 Dm                            Eb (solo g note)
Trying to improvise their way out of on WE and on TV as you and me
       Bb                          Gm
Walking trails in the creepin' dark
           Dm                         Eb9
Off to the observatory in Griffith Park

[Prechorus]
        Bb                          Eb9b5
There's too much light for stars anyway
Dm                       Ebmaj7(add6) Ebmaj7
I'm getting out of this place

[Chorus]
Bb          Ebmaj7 Dm#5        Ebmaj7
I'm leaving LA     I'm leaving LA
        C7(add9)
And the studio executives who never made a thing
        Ebmaj7
Blamin' others for their losses, taking credit for their wins
           C7(add9)
Wipin' the blood of dumb artists from their chins
                 Ebmaj7
Grinnin' kid you oughtn't take it personally

[Bridge]
Gm
On Hollywood and Vine a dime store spiderman
Gm
Shouting at a stoned Emma Stone dressed a la La La Land
Gm                               Ebmaj7      Bb/D
And in the distance, in both its glorious dimensions
    Eb9
The sign projects its shadow on a hill

Another rundown on Ebmaj7/Ebmaj9

[Verse]
Bbmaj7                             Ebmaj7
A Russian bar, machine-gun cops at LAX
               Bb                                  Eb9
Malfunctionin' departure board says we're boarding next
Bb                               Ebmaj7b5
Belt off, shoes off, jacket off, hat
                             Bbmaj7                      Ebmaj9
Don't need the attitude but I quite enjoy the subsequent patdown,
                        Bb               Ebmaj7
And I'm sat down as the A380 engine roars
                              Bb                             Eb
Pushed backwards even as this tube of monkeys rumbles forwards

[Prechorus]
                       Bb                        Ebmaj7
I'm looking forward to another twenty hours on a plane
Bb                           Ebmaj7
Nothing but crap films on my brain
Bbmaj7                 Ebmaj7
I've been going slowly insane
Bbmaj7                                 Ebmaj7
I've seen your sport and I don't wanna play
Bb          F/A         Gm                 Bb/F        Ebmaj9
I'm getting out of this place, I'm getting out of this place

[Chorus]
            Ebmaj7
I'm leaving LA
        C7(add9)
And the actors at gratitude drinking undrinkable juice
        Ebmaj7
And the agents taking ten percent in their sneakers and suits
        C7(add9)
And the writers in their Teslas trying to punch up Act 1
        Ebmaj7
Driving home on the 101 in the relentless SoCal sun
        C7(add9)
And the greedy and the needy and the homeless and the horny
        Ebmaj7
And the deals done on treadmills at 10-6 in the morning
        C7(add9)
And the captain's on the PA saying look for the sign
                Eb9
But I find it's just some frickin' letters on a hill
N.C.
Just some ugly, goddamn letters

[Outro]

Bb Gm Dm Eb9

I'm leaving L.A.
