[Intro]
[G] [Em] [Am] [D] [C] [D]
[Verse 1]
[G]Well she left me here halfway[B7]
Between the [Am]bright lights of Los Angeles
And the t[C]awdry nights of S[D]an Jose
[G]With Ecstacy and Ivory Wave[B7]
And a b[Am]ackpack full of Captain Jack
To t[C]ake me to an early g[D]rave
[Am]And I've never been to paradise
[Am]Standing on this corner by myself
[D]You don't have to tell me twice
[Chorus 1]
[G]And the world's not gonna end
[Em]If I could just pretend
[C]That here's a place to go
[D]San Luis Obispo
[G]And the streets may look the same
[Em]Of any town by any name
[C]Gonna find my afterglow
[D]San Luis Obispo
The d[G]ifference bet[Em]ween delight
And l[C]oneliness could [Am]be a one way f[D]light
[D]In these San Luis Obispo n[G]ights
[Verse 2]
[G]Where no one seems to mind[B7]
If you s[Am]tring your words together with
Kool c[C]igarettes and sparkling w[D]ine
[G]Keep the conversation light[B7]
Wait un[Am]til the girls get under-dressed
And t[C]hen the talk gets l[D]ess polite
[Am]And I could stay here all my days
[Am]But will I spend my life deciding if
[D]Happiness is just a phase
[Chorus 2]
[G]And I hope that I'm not wrong
[Em]Maybe here's where I belong
[C]Every winter free of snow
[D]San Luis Obispo
[G]But if she's coming back again
[Em]I would flee but until then
[C]Every day my love it grows
[D]San Luis Obispo
The d[G]ifference bet[Em]ween delight
And l[C]oneliness is [Am]never black or w[D]hite
[D]In these San Luis Obispo ni[G]ghts
[Interlude]
G Em C D x2
[Bridge]
[CM7]Sorry you misu[Bm]nderstood
This [Am]kid with his int[D]entions good
When a[G]ll I had was t[B7]wo feet left to s[Em]tand
And [CM7]if you're coming b[Bm]ack through town
[Am]Put your ear down [D]to the ground
Cause t[C]his boy's voice has changed into a m[D]an's
[Chorus 3]
[G]And I hope that I'm not wrong
[Em]Baby here's where I belong
[C]Every winter free of snow
[D]San Luis Obispo
[G]But if she's coming back again
[Em]I would flee but until then
[C]Every day my love it grows
[D]San Luis Obispo
The d[G]ifference bet[Em]ween delight
And l[C]oneliness could [Am]be a one way f[D]light
