E
I knew that this was wrong as I
Stood reaching for the bedroom light,
C#m
But she turned me on.
So I turned it off.
E
Now every man has got his flaws,
His breaking point, his sacred cause.
C#m
And I had mine,
But I crossed that line.
A
Now I could never ask you to
F#m
Forgive me for the things I do,
A
But if you ever need me
B
You know where I'll be.
E
Meet me in California,
C#m A
I'll be there waiting for your call.
Am
I'll be there waiting for you.
E
Cause you know in California
C#m A
There's something better for us all.
Am
Meet me in California.

This night was like a bible verse
With pages torn and missing words
C#m
Condemning me.
And I'm on my knees.
E
I wish that I could start again,
Peel the past like sunburned skin
C#m
Right off of me,
But it's not that easy.
A
Now I could never ask you to
F#m
Forgive me for the things I do,
A
But if you ever need me

You know where I'll be.

And I don't wanna make you cry.

I just wanna see you smile again.

Cause everything I used to be
C#m
Is waiting over there for me.

This is a beginning not an end.
