Santa Monica
by Everclear
attempt at rhythm-
if you can't pick it up from the song, here's a valiant attempt..
verse-
G5 G5 x x x x G5 G5 G5/E G5 G5 x x x x
(repeat.. the x's represent muting the strings and stumming)
same basic strumming technique throughout the rest of the song
** all verses use the same progression as in verse I
*** all choruses use the same progression as in the first chorus..
Verse I -
I am still living with yo[G5]ur ghos[G5/E]t[G5]
Lonely [G5/E]and dreaming o[G5]f the wes[G5/E]t coas[G5]t
I don't wan[G5/E]t to be your downtim[D5]e[E5] [C5]
I don't[C5] want [D5]to be yo[G5]ur stupid game
Verse II-
With my big black boots and an old suitcase
I do believe I'll find myself a new place
I don't want to be the bad guy
I don't want to do your sleepwalk dance anymore
I just want to see some palm trees
Go and try to shake away this disease
Chorus-
We can live beside th[C5]e ocean
[C5]Leave the fire[D5] behind[G5]
[G5]Swim out past the[E5] breake[D5]rs
[D5]Watch the wo[C5]rld die[G5]
Verse III-
I am still dreaming of your face
Hungry and hollow for all the things you took away
I don't want to be your good time
I don't want to be your fall-back crutch anymore
Verse IV-
I'll walk right out into a brand new day
Insane and rising in my own weird way
I don't want to be the bad guy
I don't want to do your sleepwalk dance anymore
I just want to feel some sunshine
I just want to find some place to be alone
Chorus-
We can live beside the ocean
Leave the fire behind
Swim out past the breakers
And watch the world die
Chords used-
