Sweet La

        Em  C Am
Sweet L.A
          B7             Em  C Am B7
I gave my broken soul to you
        Em  C Am
Sweet L.A
           B7       Em         C Am B7
Why do you hurt me like you do?

[Bridge]
       Em                     C
I keep running and rushing to catch a clue
       Am              B7
To the mystery of your dark heart
        Em
I could never have known
         C
From the signs I was shown
         Am                       B7
That the game was rigged from the start

[Chorus]
        Em  C Am
Sweet L.A
             B7                        Em      C Am B7
All of these trials that you've put me through
        Em  C Am
Sweet L.A
           B7       Em         C Am B7
Why do you hurt me like you do?

[Bridge]
     Em                        C
Underneath all the glamour and flashing lights
          Am             B7
There are shadows nobody sees
       Em
In the dim of your dusk
         C
You're a cold bloody husk
          Am              B7
Spreading poison into the breeze

[Chorus]
        Em  C Am
Sweet L.A
           B7               Em
Why do you hurt me like you do?
            C                Am   B7
(Why do you hurt me like you do?)

[Interlude]
Em         F
  Open the oldest wounds
C                B7
  These memories haunt me
Em                 F
  Your secrets and crooked smiles
C                  B7
  They torment and taunt me

  Em        F
I long for atonement's arms
C          B7
  Carry me back
        Em           F                       C       B7
But the reel keeps on spinning loose and the screen
             Em
Is fading to black

[Saxophone solo]

Em C Am B7 (x4)

[Chorus]
        Em  C Am
Sweet L.A
          B7         Em      C Am B7
I gave my broken soul to you
        Em  C Am
Sweet L.A
           B7       Em
Why do you hurt me like you do?
            C                Am    B7
(Why do you hurt me like you do?)
         Em
Like you do
