[C]
So high in the desert near a curtain of [A] blue, [C] saying [G] it's your time to go [C] ahead.
But down in [F] the city of [C] night [A] lights, the fence was set [G] on with a [C] rift.
And you can't deny [F] the limit [C] is easy, [A] if you [C] never look [G] behind the scenery.
[C] Saying it's your [F] time [C] for dry [A] fun, but down [G] is dreaming [C] of rain.
[A] When the hills [G] of Los Angeles [F] are [C] burning, [Am]
from [G] trees are candles [F] and from the [C] wind.
[A] So many lives [E] are on the breeze, [Am] even the stars [F] are in flames.
[A] And Los [G] Angeles is [C] burning.
This is [F] not a [C] test [A] of the [C] emergency [G] broadcast system.
[C] When Malibu [F] fires and [C] radio [A] towers can't [G] fly or dance again.
[C] And I cannot believe [F] the media [C] met God.
So, [A] there are they [C] trying to [G] peddle reality, [C] cutting it off, [F] front time, [C] storyline.
[A] The whole [G] world is going [C] insane.
[A] When the hills [G] of Los Angeles [F] are [C] burning, [A]
from [G] trees are candles [F] and from the [C] wind.
[Am] So many lives [E] are on the breeze, [Am] even the stars [F] are in flames.
[A] And Los [G] Angeles is [C] burning.
[F] A blackbird reads the [C] end of days.
[F] Chacaranda [G] vows are bending [A] in place.
[F] More a question [G] than a curse.
[C] How could [Bm] hell be [A] any worse?
[F] The flames are stunning.
[G] The cameras running.
[C] So take warning.
