Seems you finally found, finally found El Dorado
Over in Culver City, shining bright, name in lights
       D#   Gm    Cm        Gm
And I tried to be hyped for you
        D#    Gm    Cm        Gm
Oh I'm trying to be hyped for you

It's kinda like a party that you never
wanted to attend
But when an invitation finally arrives
you change your mind
And I tried to be hyped for you
Oh I'm trying to be hyped for you

        D#    F      G#      A#       F        Gm
As you slip away behind the gates, behind the gates

Seems you finally found, finally found El Dorado
So why does it feel underwhelming, barely real?
And I tried to be hyped for you
Oh I'm trying to be hyped for you

As you slip away behind the gates
Behind the gates

El Dorado
El Dorado
El Dorado
