[Verse 1]
G                     D          G                    C
In the City of Angels tonight   down off one of those freeways
G                                     D
The breeze ain't movin' nothin',     But the blue hotel light
Am                           C                          D
and the ladies on the corner swear they could make it right
       G                          D      G                         C
And he sits with his head in his hands   She sits listening to the radio
G                                  D
And things--they ain't worked out  exactly as planned
Am                                C                        D
But then, Southern California     ain't no place to make a stand...


[Refrain]
G                 D           C         D
And she holds on--she holds on to St. Christopher
G                 D        Am            C
And she shines on--and he heads for the light
D                G          D            Am  C     G        D
And they can't take away the memories of Spanish nights...

[Verse 2]
G                            D               G                   C
She had been there forever  and he had been 'somewhere along the way'
G                           D
They were passionate people these are desperate times
Am                           C|D
Desperate measures call for passionate crimes
G                                     D        G                        C
So they stole all the love they could handle, living underneath the hotel law
G                                 D
And you don't take prisoners     when you live on the run
Am                             C                  D
And this town--it can finish    anything you've begun...


[Refrain]
G                 D           C         D
And she holds on--she holds on to St. Christopher
G                 D        Am            C
And she shines on--and he heads for the light
D                G          D            Am  C     G        D
And they can't take away the memories of Spanish nights...

D                      G         C      D
When you run with the dreamers (when you  run with the dreamers)
D                      G               C      D
 The going can get so rough          (get so rough)
D             G               Em              C                    D
And sooner or later you find out that dreams just ain't enough...(just ain't enough)


[Verse 3]
G                                     D         G                              C
And they swore that each time was the last one You know, two hearts can only take so

much...
G                                     D
And you can't live in love songs but, oh, how they tried
Am                    C                       D
Alone in the darkness with the whispers and cries
            G                            D
But then... In the City of the Angels tonight...
G                        C
down off one of those freeways
G                                D                   Am
the breeze ain't movin' nothin'  but the blue hotel light...
