East Coast Girl

C
Yeah everything's going pretty par for the course
Am
Got back problems, grey hair, craving a Porsche
F                               C
If you make it this far without killing yourself
           G
You got it made though
C
Got a little place in Venice next to a lady with nine cats
Am
Walk up Abbott Kinney watching business collapse
F                          C                               G
It all reminds me when you moved here from New York in '88
Yeah

[Chorus]

           C                   G
So Johnnie tell me that you're alright
        Am             F
I wanna cover you up tonight
            C              G                  F
Give me one more chance to show you something real
        C                 G
You can run but you can't hide
       Am                     F
It's a cruel, cruel summer outside
      C                      G                 F
Shine on little baby, you're too good for this world
Just another broken east coast girl

[Verse]

C C Am Am Dm Dm G G

C
There's a guy on Lincoln Boulevard where I get my medication
Am
I wake up after three hours and I fall asleep, mid-conversation
F
I'm pretty sure it's a habit
         C                                    G
But I'll talk myself out of that one too, you know
         C
You were always good at talking us out of trouble with the cops
     Am
Made everybody feel good about the fact that they were not
       F                                          C                               G
I just wish I could go back in time and find that perfect moment for you, y'know?

[Chorus]

           C                   G
So Johnnie tell me that you're alright
        Am             F
I wanna cover you up tonight
            C              G                  F
Give me one more chance to show you something real
        C                 G
You can run but you can't hide
       Am                     F
It's a cruel, cruel summer outside
      C                      G                 F
Shine on little baby, you're too good for this world
Just another broken east coast girl
