[Verse 1]
Well she left me here [B]halfway
Between the bright [C]lights of
Los Angeles
And the taw[Em]dry nights [D]of San Jose
[G]With Ecstacy and Ivory Wav[B]e
[C]And a backpack full of Captain Jack
To [Em]take me to an [D]early [Am]grave
And I’ve never been to [C]paradise
Standing [Am]on this corner by myself
[C]You don’t have to tell [D]me [G]twice

[Verse 2]
And the world’s not gonna [Em]end
If I could just pre[C]tend
That here’s a place to go
[D]San Luis Obi[G]spo
And the streets may look the same
[Em]Of any town by any name[C]
Gonna find my afterglow
[D]San Luis Obispo

[Verse 3]
The [G]difference [D]between delight
And [Em]loneliness could [D#]be a one way fl[D]ight
In these San Luis Obispo nights
[G]

[Verse 4]
Where no one seems to [B]mind
If [C]you string your words together with
Kool ci[Em]garettes and spark[D]ling [G]wine
Keep the conversation [B]light
Wait un[C]til the girls get under-dressed
And And [Em]then the talk gets [D]less [Am]polite
And I could stay here all [C]my days
But will I spend [Am]my life deciding if
[C]Happiness [D]is just [G]a phase

[Verse 5]
And I hope that I’m not [Em]wrong
Maybe here’s where I belong
[C]Every winter free of [D]snow
San Luis [G]Obispo
But if she’s coming back [Em]again
I would flee but until [C]then
Every day my love [D]it grows

[Verse 6]
San Luis Obispo
[G]The difference [D]between delight
And [Em]loneliness is nev[D#]er black or w[D]hite
In these San Luis Obispo [G]night

[Verse 7]
[Em]Sorry you misun[D]derstood
This [C]kid with his intentions good
When [Bm]all I had was two
[D#dim]feet left to s[Em]tand
And if you’re coming back [D]through town
[C]Put your ear down to the ground
Cause [Am]this boy’s voice has
changed into [D]a m[G]an’s

[Verse 8]
And I hope that I’m not [Em]wrong
Baby here’s where I belong
[C]Every winter free of [D]snow
San Luis [G]Obispo
But if she’s coming back [Em]again
I would flee but until [C]then
Every day my love [D]it grows

[Verse 9]
San Luis Obispo
[G]The difference [D]between delight
And [Em]loneliness could [D#]be a one way fl[D]ight
In these San Luis Obispo [G]night
