            E                      E/F#
there's the part you've braced yourself against
    A   B                      E
and then there's the other part
steal up inclining northward streets
with some weird sickness in the dark

C#m                  A
saw your name on the sidewalk
         E                 A
saw your brave face in my mind
           E
if you're gonna sit next to the dealer
                 B
you get to bet blind

E
never get away, never get away
            A                 B          E
i am never ever gonna get away from this place
E               E/F#              A     
lay down on the street, my eyes toward the sun
     B                   E
your star next to my face

the compasses i came into this world with
never really worked so good
gentle shadows spilling down the hills
up on mulholland at ledgewood

     C#m            A
turn back, turn back
E               G#m                 A
find someone to tell your secrets to
      E
dream past an old hotel on Ivar
                        B
and seconds later i saw you

never get away, never get away
i am never ever gonna get away from this place
lay down on the street, my eyes toward the sun
your star next to my face

Amaj7                            E      
let the camera track me from the footlights to the wings
Amaj7                                              B
let me set aside an hour or two in memory of sweet things

regrind the lens again and again and again but still the picture flips
anyone here mentions hotel california dies before the first line clears his lips

never get away, never get away,
i am never ever gonna get away from this place
lay down on the street, my eyes toward the sun
your star next to my face
