[Verse 1]
A              C#m
In Santa Monica, in the wintertime
F#m          E              A     C#m
The la - zy streets so undemanding
       F#m        E
I walk into the crowd
A               C#m
In Santa Monica
                        F#m
You get your coffee from the coolest
D              A        C#m
places on the promenade
             F#m            D  E
Where people dress just so
C#m7           D
Beauty so unavoidable, everywhere you turn
       C#m7
it's there
                         D
I sit and wonder what am I doing here?
 
 
[Chorus 1]
            A                  E
But on the telephone line I am anyone, I
    D          E
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
          A
Or would you?
C#m   F#m   E
Ooh......
 
 
[Verse 2]
A              C#m                  F#m
In Santa Monica, all the people got modern
E                  A
names like Jake or Mandy
C#m        F#m
And modern bodies too
A                C#m
In Santa Monica, on the boulevard
F#m            D                   A
You'll have to dodge those in-line skaters
   C#m               F#m   D   E
Or they'll knock you down
C#m7               D
I never felt so lonely
                           C#m7
Never felt so out of place
                         D
I never wanted something more than this
 
 
[Chorus 2]
           A                   E
But on the telephone line I am anyone, I
   D          E
am anything I want to be
             F#m            E
I could be a super model or Norman Mailer
    D
And you wouldn't know the difference
           A                  E
On the telephone line I am any height, I
    D         E
am any age I want to be
             F#m                E
I could be a caped crusader, or space invader
    D
And you wouldn't know the difference
A            C#m   F#m   E
Or would you?

I used Amaj7 instead of C#m, and thought perhaps this part should be C#m7 Bm7 Beauty so unavoidable D everywhere you turn it's there C#m7 Bm7 E I sit and wonder what am I doing here?
