Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Pick out a D and hit low E on second and

third frets (helps to catch it with the

thumb)...pretty random pickin' on the intro,

you can strum D if you want...didn't go that far into detail.

Verse 1

(During the verses, play a G power chord softly

or palm mute it)

Well I love her and she's leaving

She met a man, plays in a band, last weekend

And he lives out on the west coast

She says she's gotta go

Chorus

 But it's a long, long way from Myrtle Beach to L.A.

Anything could change her mind

One sunset or one regret

 She could turn around, come back, and be mine

 Happy endings happen all the time

Verse 2

She's almost finished packing

It's over 2,000 miles- a lot can happen

There's gonna be days and days of long stretches

Maybe she'll come back to her senses

REPEAT CHORUS (except on this last line, go back to G power on "time")...

 Happy endings happen all the time

...and keep it going through this whole small 3rd verse.

Well I ain't waitin' on no phonecall

I ain't gettin' my hopes up at all

And I ain't settin' myself up for a fall

REPEAT CHORUS (palm muted until "one sunset")

 Then everything would be just fine

 Happy endings happen all the time

SOFTLY WITH G POWER AND FADE OUT WHEN "MYRTLE" STARTS:

Oooo yeah they do

It's a long, long way from Myrtle Beach to L.A.
