[Verse 1]
                     G         C
Fighter jets over my city, uh
                      F         Dm
Cool contrails in the sky, yeah
              D             F
It's breaking news all over TV
                  C   A   Am
We were hit by surprise
  F
Alright
                           G                   C
I was at Townhouse down in Venice Beach, oh no
                               F     Dm
Stealing moments with you know who
           D                  F
We won the war but not a day goes by
                                        C A
That I don't think I shoulda been with you


[Chorus]
 Am                   F
When the City of Angels fell
                        G
When the City of Angels fell
                        C
When the City of Angels fell
                        F
I was busy letting you down, woman
                    Dm
When the City of Angels fell
         D                 F
When the City of Angels fell
                      C
I was nowhere to be found
      A
Alright

[Verse 2]
                            G
A vast shadow cast over my city
        C                                  F           Dm
Some kinda, unknown ships sittin' in the sky (Yeah, ooh)
                   D     Am        F
I guess they came here looking for trouble
         C        Am
No time for goodbyes


[Chorus]
                         F
Oh, When the City of Angels fell
                     G
When the City of Angels fell
                  C
When the City of Angels fell
                         F
I was busy letting you down, woman
                      Dm
When the City of Angels fell
         D        E     F
When the City of Angels fell
                  C
And I was nowhere to be found
A     Am              F
No, no, nowhere to be found
         G            C
Nowhere, honey, oh no

[Verse 3]
                         G            C
Drinking my favorite tequila (alright)
                                        F               Dm
You know I, saved your last message to my phone, woman
                  D                F
I didn't text you back that night, did I?
        G      C                                  Am       F
It just says, "Baby, when do you think you'll be home?" no, oh no
                                    G
I stayed behind when everyone left fled for Nevada
          C                           F                    Dm
You know I, I stayed behind to search for your smile, oh no
           D    F
Hoping to find you in the rubble
 G    C                                  A     G
Hoping, that I could just hold you for a while


[Final Chorus]
               C              F
'Cause when the City of Angels fell
                  Am
When the City of Angels fell
                 Am
When the City of Angels fell
                        G
I was busy letting you down, woman
         Am          F
When the City of Angels fell
         Am
When the City of Angels fell
        C             Am
I was nowhere to be found
Am      Em
Oh, why...
