[Intro]
Am Em D C Am Em D
[Verse 1]
Am Em
I close my eyes
D
And give the city roses
C
In the night
Am Em D
Tiny black hole in the photograph
C
From graduation da-ay
Am Em
You turn and search for the face of love
D C
Swimming in a sea of fa-ces
Am Em
I laid awake in the motel room
D C D
On La Brea as it started raining
[Chorus]
C G
When it rains in LA
D Em C
It’s like a thousand angels put their broken hearts
G
On display
D Em
And every silver lining
C
Turns to gray
D G
When it rains in LA
[Verse 2]
Am Em
I beat myself at chess
D
While you take the fractals test
C
In the chemistry classroom
Am Em
She fixed my hair again
D
In the fractured mirror
C
In the downstairs bathroom
Am Em
I left a message for your mother
D C
Impossible and impulsively premeditative
From the backseat
Am Em
I used poor excuses
D C D
The story of losing my slicker in the taxi
[Chorus]
C G
When it rains in LA
D Em C
It’s like a thousand angels put their broken hearts
G
On display
D Em
And every silver lining
C
Turns to gray
D G
When it rains in LA
[Bridge]
Am Em D C Am D Am D C Am Em D
[Chorus]
C G
When it rains in LA
D Em C
It’s like 1001 angels put our broken hearts
G
On parade
D
And every silver lining
C G
Turns to gray
D Em
And the storm clouds gather
C G
To steal the sun away
C D C
When it ra-a-ains in LA
G
When it rains in LA
[Outro]
