Text File

Just heard this song for the first time on Limewire. It's off Aimee's forthcoming
album Smilers. Sounds like a really cool song and the chords were easy to tab so
I thought I'd post it up.

    A              E                B             F#m    A E A E
The road to orange County leaves an awful lot of leeway

Where everyone's a doctor or a specialist in retail

The sacrifice is worth it just to hang around the arcade
    C#m              B              F#m                      A E A E
You found yourself a profit but you left him on the boardwalk
 C#m              B            F#m                      A   E A E
Another chocolate easter bunny hollowed out by your old talk


PRE CHORUS:

C#m         E          B             F#m

And everything I do is wrong, but at least I'm hanging on

You've got a lot of money but you can't afford
       A            E             B                F#m    A E A E
You've got a lot of money but you can't afford the freeway
       A            E             B                F#m    A E A E
You've got a lot of money but you can't afford the freeway
       C#m          B           F#m       A E A E
You've got a lot of money but you can't afford
       C#m          B           F#m       A E A E
You've got a lot of money but you can't afford

Repeat A-E 'til end.


That's it. If you can't be bothered tuning down half a step, or you want to use a
capo, then just play it in the corresponding key. But I'm sure these are the
right chord progressions.
