Verse 1

When it's [G]grey in [D]L.A. I sure [C]like it that [G]way
Cause there's [C]way too much [G]sunshine round [D]here
I don't [G]know about [D]you I get [C]so sick of [G]blue skies
[C]Whenever they [D]always [G]appear
And I [G]sure love the [D]sound of the [C]rain pouring [G]down
On my [C]carport roof [G]made out of [D]tin
[G]If there's a [D]flood then there's [C]gonna be [G]mudslides
We [C]all have to [D]pay for our [G]sin

Chorus 1

[C]And I [G]suppose that they'll [C]close canyon [G]roads
And the [C]freeways will [G]all start to [D]clog
And the [C]waters will [G]rise and you [C]won't be [G]surprised
When your [Am]whole house smells like your wet [D7]dog
When it's [G]grey in [D]L.A. it's [C]much better [G]that way
It reminds you[C] that this [G]town's so cruel[D]
Yeah it [G]might feel [D]like fun [C]when you're [G]sportin' sunglasses
But [C]really [D]you're one[G] more fool

Verse 2

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

Chorus 2

[C]And I [G]suppose Laurie [C]David sure [G]knows
All those [C]cars we drive [G]heat up our earth[D]
And sea [C]temperatures [G]rise and those [C]constant blue [G]skies
And brush [Am]fires can sure curb your [D7]mirth
[G]Brad Grey's in [D]L.A. yeah [C]OK I should [G]stay
There's [C]no place [G]that's better I [D]know
For a [G]wannabe [D]star [C]stuck in a [G]car
On a [C]freeway with [D]nowhere to [G]go
When it's [G]grey in [D]L.A. I sure [C]like it that [G]way
Cause there's [C]way too much [G]sunshine round [D]here
I don't [G]know about [D]you I get [C]so sick of [G]blue skies
[C]Whenever they [D]always [G]appear
