Intro F - C - G
-----------------------------------------------------VERSE1
G
Laurel was a girl I knew
Made of dirt and stone
       Am
Pretty hip and young in years
But now she sits alone
        C
With a 100,000 architectural disasters that she calls homes

G
Beverly grinned and was pretty*
All the rich boys loved her curves
    Am
She somehow got that credit
And more than she deserved
            C
Like those bad 80's movies
                              G
Epitomizing all she came to know.
-----------------------------------------------------CHORUS
            F   C   G
la da da da daaaa aaah    x 2
-----------------------------------------------------VERSE2
      G
Well Beachwood was a boheim from the sexist 60's scene
      Am
He grew up East of West Hollywood and somewhere
                   C         
In between all the madness Laurel puts up
                                 G
But somehow always tolerates the scene
G 
Nichols had a way with the performance arts
        Am
Having cookouts with all the A&R guys *
In his backyard were future stars*
       C                                       G
But he had some potholes to repair this drama queen.*
-----------------------------------------------------CHORUS
            F   C   G
la da da da daaaa aaah    x 2
-----------------------------------------------------VERSE3
          G      
Sometimes Laurel yelled Beachwood for the times of selling out
      Am 
Then Beachwood yelled at Bentley for not knowing what lifes about.
        C
With a trust fund, friends and family,
                                           G
It felt like an earthquake when she shouts.
     G 
But Silverlake just stood there with her nose up in the air
       Am
Pushing up her horn rimmed glasses saying "I don't fucking care
           C                                                    G
about the drama all you idiots are buyin, leasin, sellin out there!"
-----------------------------------------------------CHORUS
            F   C   G

-----------------------------------------------------VERSE4
G
San Fernando was a struggling actor
He drove a deli truck
        Am
On the sets of porno movies
Just tryin to make a buck
           C
While his pallet was in escrow,
                                 G
He dreamed of dating Beverly one day
-----------------------------------------------------CHORUS
            F   C   G
la da da da daaaa aaah    x 8 <-- or until you feel like stopping
