             Fm
Sometimes I wake up in the morning
          C#
to red, blue and yellow skies,
          Fm                            C#
It's so crazy I could drink it like tequila sunrise.
             Fm                       D#
Put on that Hotel California, dance around like I'm insane,
         C#            A#m           C7
I feel free when I see no one and nobody knows my name.

Chorus:
             Fm                G#
God knows I live, God knows I died.
             D#                            Fm C7
God knows I begged, begged, borrowed and cried.
             Fm                G#
God knows I loved, God know I lied.
             D#                Fm
God knows I lost, God gave me life.
                 C7                  Fm
And God knows I tried, God knows I tried.
              C7                 Fm
God knows I tried, God knows I tried.

Sometimes I wake up in the morning
to red, blue and yellow lights,
on Monday they destroyed me
but by Friday I'm revived.
Put on that hotel California, wear my blinders in the rain,
I've got nothing much to live for ever since I found my fame.

Chorus

   D#            C#                  G#
So let there be light, let there be light.
             A#m               Fm
Light up my life, light up my life.
D#            C#                  G#
Let there be light, let there be light.
             A#m               Fm
Light up my life, light up my life.

              C7                 Fm
God knows I tried, God knows I tried.
              C7                 Fm
God knows I tried, God knows I tried.
D#            C#             G#
God knows I tried, God knows I tried.
              A#m                Fm
God knows I tried, God knows I tried.
