G        D          C            G
When it's grey in L.A. I sure like it that way
              C            G              D
Cause there's way too much sunshine round here
        G          D          C           G       
I don't know about you I get so sick of blue skies
    C         D      G
Whenever they always appear

      G             D            C            G
And I sure love the sound of the rain pouring down
      C            G           D
On my carport roof made out of tin
G            D                  C        G
If there's a flood then there's gonna be mudslides
   C           D           G
We all have to pay for our sin

Chorus I
C         G                C            G
And I suppose that they'll close canyon roads
        C             G            D
And the freeways will all start to clog
        C           G            C             G       
And the waters will rise and you won't be surprised
          Am                               D7
When your whole house smells like your wet dog

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

      G             D            C            G
Now I'm just a chump And this whole town's a dump
      C            G           D
We came out here to dump all our dreams
G            D             C          G        C
Of making it big but we're stuck in a singular nightmare
       D           G
That's just how it seems

Chorus II
C         G          C            G
And I suppose Laurie David sure knows
          C             G                D
All those cars we drive heat up our earth
        C            G              C             G
And sea temperatures rise and those constant blue skies
           Am                          D7
And brush fires can sure curb your mirth

G              D         C           G
Brad Grey's in L.A. yeah OK I should stay
        C            G           D
There's no place that's better I know

      G       D     C         G
For a wannabe star stuck in a car
          C         D        G
On a freeway with nowhere to go

          G        D          C            G
When it's grey in L.A. I sure like it that way
              C            G              D
Cause there's way too much sunshine round here
        G          D          C           G       
I don't know about you I get so sick of blue skies
    C         D      G
Whenever they always appear
