(ver. 1)
Speechwriters Llc
Okay where I put the chords for the bridge part might be a bit off but you should 
be able to get them.

Also here's what a C#add9 chord looks like.
e-4
B-4
G-6
D-6
A-4
E-4

Intro: B
B                               Abm
Sunlight hits a sign and I'm in Union Station
   F#                      B
My arms are heavy in their sleeves
B                                   Abm
Everyone here thinks that I've been on vacation
    F#                   B    F#         
But I don't ever seem to leave


    E                              B
And all that I can tell you is my love's unfocused
    Abm          F#
And drifting overseas
E                                  B
Head's all full of context better left unspoken
   Abm                     F#                      B
As scenes from old Pomona dreams come washing over me

B                                  Abm
No one wants to tell you just how long they've been here
    F#                            B
The stars are crawling out their frames
    B                             Abm
The canvas on the ankle straps is wearing thin, dear
    F#                        B    F#
And I can't help but feel the same

     E              F#               Abm      C#add9
When everything in town's been taken down for renovations
    E               F#               Abm
The hardest part is finding your way home
E                F#          Abm              C#add9
Freeway cuts the sky and I'm inside it's suppurations
    E                              Ab
But Southern California's got this way of creeping up on you

    E                             B
And all that I can tell you is my love's unfocused
    Abm          F#
And drifting overseas
E                                 B
Head's all full of context better left unspoken
   Abm                    F#                       B
As scenes from old Pomona dreams come washing over me

B                                 Abm
One last look around and then I'm always leaving
    F#                       B
The stars are falling out of tune
B                                   Abm
Fingers bear the stains of shipping and receiving
      F#                     B     F#
These songs that carry me to you

    E                F#              Abm                C#add9
But this is not some list of all the ways I should have loved you
E              F#               Abm
Hold you in my arms and let you down
E               F#              Abm                  C#add9
Turn my crooked smile up to the sky and I'm thinking of you
    E                             F#
But Southern California's got me driving home in rental cars
    E                              F#                         Abm   Bbm   B
And Southern California's got this way of tearing me and you apart
  
C#      Abm         Bbm  B           C#          Abm   Bbm   B  C#
And you know it's true, California's tearing us apart
      Abm     Bbm    B    C#
And I want it to

    E                             B
But all that I can tell you is my love's unfocused
    Abm      F#
And drifting overseas
E                                 B
Head's all full of context better left unspoken
   Abm                    F#                       B
As scenes from old Pomona dreams come washing over me
