Intro: C Em Am G F C G C
Verse:
C              G                    Am                Em
I grew up in a big white house on a quiet street in a peaceful town,
      F                                C                      G             (walk up to C)
Where everyone seems happy, but that's not the kind of life I dream of...
Pre-Chorus:
Dm                         Am
And I'll write the perfect song.
Dm                        Fm
And I'll find a different way to sing it.
Chorus:
C                  Em           Am            G
Before it gets too late, I will make my big escape.
        F            C    G     C
Say goodbye to yesterday, hello L.A.
          C               Em                 Am            G
Won't forget where I came from, when I'm the man that I'll become.
        F     C    G     C
Yes I'm on my way, Hello L.A.
