Song
Santa Monica
by Everclear
Attempt at rhythm -
if you can't pick it up from the song, here's a valiant attempt..
Verse -
G5 G5 x x x x G5 G5 G5/E G5 G5 x x x x
(repeat.. the x's represent muting the strings and stumming)
Same basic strumming technique throughout the rest of the song.
Verse I
G5 G5/E G5
I am still living with your ghost
G5/E G5 G5/E G5
Lonely and dreaming of the west coast
G5/E D5 E5 C5
I don't want to be your downtime
I don't want to be your stupid game
Verse II
G5 G5/E G5
With my big black boots and an old suitcase
G5/E G5 G5/E G5
I do believe I'll find myself a new place
G5/E D5 E5 C5
I don't want to be the bad guy
I don't want to do your sleepwalk dance anymore
I just want to see some palm trees
Go and try to shake away this disease
Chorus
We can live beside the ocean
Leave the fire behind
Swim out past the breakers
Watch the world die
Verse III
G5 G5/E G5
I am still dreaming of your face
G5/E G5 G5/E G5
Hungry and hollow for all the things you took away

Verse IV
G5 G5/E G5
I'll walk right out into a brand new day
G5/E G5 G5/E G5
Insane and rising in my own weird way
G5/E D5 E5 C5

I don't want to do your sleepwalk dance anymore
I just want to feel some sunshine
I just want to find some place to be alone
Chorus
We can live beside the ocean
Leave the fire behind
Swim out past the breakers
Watch the world die
