6: Ruining my Pretending
Verse
G
There'll never be a day
                         Em
When reality can shut me up
I like to think and believe
In how I was brought up
G
I'm part of a people
The people of today
Em
Of stories young and old
And the people those portray
Verse
G
There are those who sit and listen
To observe and drink it in
Em
There are those who just can't taste it
And they just skip to the end
G
Well me I'm just a fool
Who puts himself in that atmosphere
Em
But at least I feel the emotions
And at least I feel the emotions
Chorus
G                    Em           C
It's just a story we all know the feeling
G                           Em         C
You don't believe it you're ruining my pretending
G                    Em           C
It's just a story we all know the feeling
G                           Em         C
You don't believe it you're ruining my pretending
Verse
G
Shoutout to the folks
                    Em
Who grew up to live around
Those who are different
And those who hear the sounds
G
Of that art that speaks to them
Whether or not they agree with it
Em
Still got a chance to speak
Before some asshole said away with it
Verse
G
There are those who sit and listen
To observe and drink it in
Em
There are those who just can't taste it
And they just skip to the end
G
Well me I'm just a fool
Who puts himself in that atmosphere
Em
But at least I feel the emotions
And at least I feel the emotions
Chorus
G                    Em           C
It's just a story we all know the feeling
G                           Em         C
You don't believe it you're ruining my pretending
G                    Em           C
It's just a story we all know the feeling
G                           Em         C
You don't believe it you're ruining my...

It's just a story we all know the feeling
G                           Em         C
You don't believe it you're ruining my pretending
Bridge
C
Some look out the window
When the moon is getting high
    G
And some look at the walls
When there's fireworks outside
C
Well me I'm just a fool
Me I'm just a fool
G             D
Me I'm just a fool
Chorus
It's just a story we all know the feeling
You don't believe it you're ruining my pretending

For shallow sleep and bloodshot eyes

12: Drive North
Verse
A              G
Summertime, it gets hotter
A                     G
You're running out of holy water
  A                         G
I hate all your songs about havin' fun
A                                   G
Next to all the strip malls and the bleached out sun
A               G
Summertime is a tired muse
    A                    G
And all your punks are too cool for school
A               G
Everybody has a shiny car
A                     G
And everybody knows a shining star well
Chorus
A            G
I hate Santa Monica Boulevard
A      G
I hate Venice Beach
A         G
I hate Tarzana too
A
'Cause I hate Los Angeles
Verse
A               G
Everybody has a bright green lawn
A                    G
Down south where the water's gone
    A               G
And everybody has a hand to shake
A            G
Politics and moves to make
     A        G
Well I want a better scene
A                  G
Up north where the water's clean
A           G
I want what LA has
        A                G
Without all the stuck up noses please
Chorus
A      G
I hate Venice Beach
A      G
I hate Highland Park
A         G
I hate Tarzana too
A
'Cause I hate Los Angeles
