E
I like to stick to walls
Dbm                           A         B   A
Observing conversations and lifting them when they fall
 
 
E                       Dbm
I am a fire escape, my spine is made of iron
  A                      B A
My heart pumps out old red paint.
 

    E      B     Dbm      B        A   B
Save yourself, save yourself, yourself.
E      B     Dbm      B        A   B
  Save yourself, save yourself.
 

E
I see the seasons change,
Dbm                         A             B       A
All the young faces come and replace the dying ones.
 

E
Sit out on Lexington and Vine
Dbm                            A              B            A
All the pimps and prostitutes wave you down at stopping signs.
 
 
 E      B     Dbm      B        A   B
Save yourself, save yourself, yourself.
 E      B     Dbm      B        A   B
   Save yourself, save yourself.
 

Dbm                              B   A
Los Angeles I have been waiting for you,
 E                        B A
to pick yourself up and change
E               Dbm          B
The city you've made, this ocean and sand
E               Dbm                B   A
Its founded on lights and self made men.
 

E                                     Dbm
I've watched the dreamers find their legs
           A                                           B      A
And I've seen the ones that come get reduced to bones and rags.
 

E                            Dbm
I am a fire escape, my spine is made of iron
A                     B         A
My heart pumps out old red paint.
 

E      B     Dbm      B        A
Save yourself, save yourself.
E          B               A
Save yourself, save yourself.
