[Verse] Am F Standing on the windowsill G E Walking in your sleep Am On the street F Sirens sang G E For you to take the leap Am F Thought that you were Icarus G E Or at least that you were Greek Am F For the people down below G E Am You're just another freak [Pre-Chorus] D C I would give my eyes away F G just to be the light D C I'd burn off my fingerprints, F G start a brand new life D C I would trade my innocence, F G choke up on my pride D C You can find me every night F G knocking at the sky [Chorus] D C Singing "La-ah-ah, la" F G Singing "La-ah-ah, la" D C Singing "La-ah-ah, la" F G Singing "La-ah-ah, la" [Verse] Am Women wept F When you were gone G E Lay naked on the shore Am F A hero's death in chiffon trenches G E Who could ask for more? Am F And you would seek the mountains G E Or the moon where snow is born Am F To gaze upon the hydra G E Am And Athena in softcore [Pre-Chorus] D C I would give my eyes away F G just to be the light D C I'd burn off my fingerprints, F G start a brand new life D C I would trade my innocence, F G choke up on my pride D C You can find me every night F G knocking at the sky [Chorus] D C Singing "La-ah-ah, la" F G Singing "La-ah-ah, la" D C Singing "La-ah-ah, la" F G Singing "La-ah-ah, la" [Bridge] D C Honey, there's a seven-car pile-up F G On the highway to my heart D And if I give you the green light C You promise you'll never come back?? F G You promise? [Instrumental] D C F G D C F G [Pre-Chorus] D C Oh, I rue the day (Singing "La-ah-ah, la") F G I ever left this place (Singing "La-ah-ah, la") D C I gave my headshots in (Singing "La-ah-ah, la") F G To Trashy's Lingerie (Singing "La-ah-ah, la") D C I want my MTV (Singing "La-ah-ah, la") F G My grass, and my valet (Singing "La-ah-ah, la") D C It never rains on me (Singing "La-ah-ah, la") F G Oh, God I love LA (Singing "La-ah-ah, la") [Outro] D Em Singing "La-la-la" F G "La-la-la-la-la" D Em "La-la-la-la-la" F G "La-la-la-la-la" N.C.
