VERSE1
G F# C B
G F# C B D (x2)
Stuck on the same road
Heart’s gonna explode
Trapped on the highway
Nothing is going my way
Bumper to bumper
One mile an hour
Stopped at a red light
No Exit ramp in sight, no

Nobody’s going
Radio's blaring

Smoke in the distance
Roadside assistance
Idling in place
No one escapes LA
