changes occur, but you'll get the best idea by listening to the song...

Santa Monica
by Everclear
attempt at rhythm-
if you can't pick it up from the song, here's a valiant attempt..
verse-
G5 G5 x x x x G5 G5 G5/E G5 G5 x x x x
(repeat.. the x's represent muting the strings and stumming)
same basic strumming technique throughout the rest of the song
** all verses use the same progression as in verse I
*** all choruses use the same progression as in the first chorus..
Verse I -
G5 G5/E G5
I am still living with your ghost
G5/E G5 G5/E G5
Lonely and dreaming of the west coast
G5/E D5 E5 C5
I don't want to be your downtime
C5 D5 G5
I don't want to be your stupid game
Verse II-
With my big black boots and an old suitcase
I do believe I'll find myself a new place
I don't want to be the bad guy
I don't want to do your sleepwalk dance anymore
I just want to see some palm trees
Go and try to shake away this disease
Chorus-
C5
We can live beside the ocean
C5 D5 G5
Leave the fire behind
G5 E5 D5
Swim out past the breakers
D5 C5 G5
Watch the world die
Verse III-
I am still dreaming of your face
Hungry and hollow for all the things you took away
I don't want to be your good time
I don't want to be your fall-back crutch anymore
Verse IV-
I'll walk right out into a brand new day
Insane and rising in my own weird way
I don't want to be the bad guy
I don't want to do your sleepwalk dance anymore
I just want to feel some sunshine
I just want to find some place to be alone
Chorus-
We can live beside the ocean
Leave the fire behind
Swim out past the breakers
And watch the world die
