Introduction: D Gm D D Gm D
D Gm D
I dream about that Californian sun
Bm A G
While watching all the cars roll by out on Route 1
D A D F# Bm
While my boss just grins and says "You know, there's much work to be done."
D A D
While I dream about that Californian sun
D Gm D
You're the only girl I know that's worth the wait.
Bm A G
While my friends all gather round and try to set me straight.
D A D F# Bm
But it takes all I have in me not to jump on the interstate,
D A D
Cause you're the only girl I know tha's worth the wait.
G A
If the Earth still shakes and the storm won't break
D D7 G Gm
And your heart feels like a canyon
D F#7 Bm
Then I'll try to give it every ounce that it takes
D A D
Even though I ain't a man yet.
D Gm D
Sometimes I think I'll catch a flight next Sunday
Bm A G
Before I stop to wonder where I'll get that kind of money,
D A D F# Bm
But there's nothing more American than a dream that just ain't coming,
D A D
So I still think that I'll catch a flight next Sunday.
D Gm D
You told me that you feel all alone.
Bm A G
I tell you that I feel the same through my dead, cracked phone.
D A D F# Bm
So is it worse to feel that way when you're 3,000 miles from home,
D A D
Or to be right there and still feel all alone.
G A
If the Earth still shakes and the storm won't break
D D7 G Gm
And your heart feels like a canyon
D F#7 Bm
Then I'll try to give it every ounce that it takes
D A D
Even though I ain't a man yet.
D Gm D
My friend said if it's really meant to be,
Bm A G
It'll happen when the time is right, that's destiny,
D A D F# Bm
What if the time is never right, and life slides by so carelessly,
D A D
And you're just the one that got away from me?
D Gm D
I guess that I would rather try and fail
Bm A G
Than wonder about a ship that never quite set sail,
D A D F# Bm
So put that white flag away and don't you run and turn your tail,
D A D
'Cause for you, girl, I'd rather try and fail.
G A
If the Earth still shakes and the storm won't break
D D7 G Gm
And your heart feels like a canyon
D F#7 Bm
Then I'll try to give it every ounce that it takes
D A D
Even though I ain't a man yet.
D A D
Even though I ain't a man yet.
