California Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
I stretched myself across four states
New lands, west coast, where my dreams lay
[C]I trade amber c[Em]lay roads for the
[F]Sea foam and the [Em]endless sun rays

[Pre-chorus 1]
'Cause [C]I was never told
that I wasn't gonna get
The [Em]things I want the most
But [F]people always say,
"If it hasn't happened yet
Then [Em]maybe you should go"

[Chorus 1]
[Dm]Come get me out of California
[F]No leaves are brown
[C]I miss the seasons in Missouri
[Em]My dying town
[Dm]Thought I'd be cool in California
[F]I'd make you proud
[C]To think I almost had it going
[G]But I let you down
[Dm][Em][F]
[Dm][Em][F]

[Verse 2]
[C]Too hard to find [Em]reasons to stay
[F]Even true love [Em]could not persuade

[Pre-chorus 2]
'Cause [C]I was never told
that I wasn't gonna get
The [Em]things I want the most
But [F]people always say,
"If it hasn't happened yet
Then [Em]maybe you should go"

[Chorus 2]
[Dm]Come get me out of California
[F]No leaves are brown
[C]I miss the seasons in Missouri
[Em]My dying town
[Dm]Thought I'd be cool in California
[F]I'd make you proud
[C]To think I almost had it going
[G]But I let you down
[Dm][Em][F][C]

[Bridge 1]
[Dm]Come get me out
[F]Come get me out
[C]Come get me out
[Em]Come get me out

[Chorus 3]
[Dm]Come get me out of California
No leaves are brown
[C]I miss the seasons in Missouri
[Em]My dying town
[Dm]Thought I'd be cool in California
[F]I'd make you proud
[C]To think I almost had it going
[G]But I let you down
