If you want the words to be aligned with the guitar chords, you must view
it in a non-fixed-width font, such as Times New Roman or Arial.
Verse 1:
A C#m
In Santa Monica, in the wintertime
F#m E A
The la - zy streets so undemanding
C#m F#m E
I walk into the crowd
A
In Santa Monica
C#m F#m D A
You get your coffee from the coolest places on the promenade
C#m F#m D E
Where people dress just so
C#m7 D
Beauty so unavoidable, everywhere you turn it's there
C#m7 D
I sit and wonder what am I doing here?
Chorus:
A E D
E
But on the telephone line I am anyone, I am anything I want to be
F#m E
I can be a supermodel or Norman Mailer
D
And you wouldn't know the difference
Or would you?
A C#m F#m E
Ooh......
Verse 2:
In Santa Monica, all the people got modern names like Jake or Mandy
And modern bodies too
In Santa Monica, on the boulevard
You'll have to dodge those in-line skaters
Or they'll knock you down
I never felt so lonely
Never felt so out of place
I never wanted something more than this
Chorus #2:
But on the telephone line I am anyone, I am anything I want to be
I could be a super model or Norman Mailer
And you wouldn't know the difference
On the telephone line I am any height, I am any age I want to be
I could be a caped crusader, or space invader
And you wouldn't know the difference
Or would you?
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official SAVAGE GARDEN tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
