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
