Verse 2

And I sure love the sound of

the rain pouring down,

On my carport roof made out of tin,

If there's a flood,

then there's gonna be mudslides--

We all have to pay for our sin!

Verse 3
C 
G 
And I suppose that they'll
C 
G 
close canyon roads,
C 
G 
D 
And the freeways will all start to clog.
C 
G 
And the waters will rise and
C 
you won't be surprised
G 
Am 
When your whole house smells
D 
like your wet dog...

Verse 4
G 
D 
When it's grey in L.A. it's
C 
G 
much better that way,
C 
G 
D 
It reminds you that this town's so cruel.
G 
D 
Yeah it might feel like fun when
C 
G 
you're sporting sunglasses--
C 
D 
G 
But really, you're just one more fool!
D

Verse 5
G 
D 
I'm just a chump,
C 
G 
This whole town's a dump,
C 
G 
D 
We came out here to dump all our dreams
G 
D 
C 
Of making it big, but we're stuck in
G 
C 
a sig alert nightmare--
D 
G 
That's just how it seems.

Verse 6
C 
G 
C 
And I suppose, Laurie David sure knows
G 
C 
All those cars we drive
G 
D 
heat up our earth;
C 
G 
And sea temperatures rise,
C 
G 
and those constant blue skies
Am 
D 
And brush fires can sure curb your mirth!

Verse 7
G 
D 
Brad Grey's in L.A. yeah okay!
C 
G 
I should stay here
C 
G 
D 
There's no place that's better I know,
G 
D 
C 
For a wannabe star, stuck in a car
G 
C 
On a freeway with nowhere
D 
G 
to go...
