Key: D
Introduction:
D5 A5 G5
Don't know what I was looking for when I went home, I found me
alone
D5 A5 G5
And sometimes I need someone to say, "You'll be all right.
What's on your mind?"
D5 G5 D5
But the water's shallow here and I am full of fear, and empty
G5
handed after two long years
D5 G5
Another sunny day in Californ-i-a
D5 G5
I'm sure back home they'd love to see it
D5 G5
But they don't know that what you love is ripped away
A5 G5
Before you get a chance to feel it
Bm,A,D9,G5,B5,D9............
D5 A5 G5
Back home I always thought I wanted so much more, now I'm not
too sure
D5 A5 G5
Cause sometimes I miss knowing someone's there for me and
feeling free
D5 G5 D5
Free to stand beside the ocean in moonlight
G5
And light myself a smoke beneath the dark Atlantic sky
D5 G5
Another sunny day in Californ-i-a
D5 G5
I'm sure back home they'd love to see it
D5 G5
But they don't know that what you love is ripped away
A5 G5 D5
Before you get a chance, before you get a chance to feel it
B5 D5 G5
Everybody here is living life in fear of falling out of line
B5 D5 G5
Tearing lives apart and breaking lots of hearts just to pass the
time
B5 D5 G5
And the eyes get red in the back of your head, this place will
make you blind
B5 D5 G5 B5 D5
Put it all behind me and I'll be just fine
Another sunny day beneath this cloudless sky
D5 G5
And wash away the west coast dreaming from my eyes
D5 G5
There's nothing real for them to see here
D5 G5
Another starry night in Californ-i-a
D5 G5
I'm sure back home they'd love to see it
D5 G5
But they don't know that what you love is ripped away
A5 G5 D5
Before you get a chance, before you get a chance to feel it
Bm,A,D9,G5,B5,D9............
