verse 1
 
C             F            C Csus4 C Csus4  
Here on the outskirts of life 
C        F              C Csus4 C Csus4 C 
   Dreams     seldom come true 
F                       G    C        G/B       Am   
Flippin' thru photographs      emotional holographs 
C                    F                       C Csus4 C Csus4  
   Cutouts of all the figures you might've been 
C                    Dm      Am       F        C Csus4  
Reflections of a life     that you once lived 


verse 2

C Csus4           C             
         As the evening descends  
F                      C     Csus4 C Csus4  
Your conscious of every breath 
C                    F              C Csus4  
And every moment is a crisis, I guess 
C Csus4    C       F                    G 
    Starin' out the windows of your hotel room 
                C          G/B            Am    
You lit one too many fires underneath that spoon 
C                       F             C Csus4 C Csus4  
Well I guess you deserve the chosen few 
C         Dm      Am     F    
Real life,     just out of view 


                 G     
Well that's just here, 
          F      
On the outskirts 
            G    
Yea, that's here, 
          F            C      
On the outskirts of your life 



GUITAR SOLO 


verse 3
 
              C                      
And there's a picture we've all seen 
F                               C                        
It was taken in the lobby of the L.A. Ambassador Hotel 

                        F                   C       
It's the silhouette of a man in another's arms 
  F                    C              G/B         Am    
So turn off your TVs,      and let that train go home 
C                                     F 
'Cause everyone warned you that California 
                           C        
Wasn't goin' to be the end 
           Dm        Am           F    
California     wasn't gonna be the end. 


verse 4 

            C 
And tell me where can you hide when 
          F                C       Csus4  
the whole world is ugly and strange 
C Csus4             C 
         Yea tell me where you gonna turn when 
           F               C   Csus4  
this whole world knows your name 
C Csus4 C     F                  G 
   And  these four walls are screamin'  
                     C   G/B   Am      
And all your friends were so deceiving 
C                          F                             C Csus4 C Csus4  
   Yea you forgot the lines of a part you rehearsed so well 
C                    Dm    Am      F    
Lyin' awake in the Brazilian Court Hotel 

                  G      
   But that's just here, 
            F       
   On the outskirts 
              G     
   Yea, that's here 
             F      
   On the outskirts, 
          C  Csus4 C Csus4 C Csus4  
   Of your life 
C Csus4   C  Csus4 C Csus4 C Csus4  
   Of your life 
C Csus4   C  Csus4 C Csus4 C Csus4  
   Of your life 
C Csus4   C  Csus4 C Csus4 C Csus4  C  
   Of your life
