[Am][F][Am][F]
[Am][F][Am][F]

[Verse 1]
[Am]Psychic spies from China try to
[F]steal your mind's elation
And [Am]little girls from Sweden dream of
[F]silver screen quotation
And [C]if you want these [G]kind of dreams
it's [F]Californi[Dm]cation
[Am][F][Am][F]

[Verse 2]
It's [Am]the edge of the world and all of
[F]Western civilization
The [Am]sun may rise in the East at least
it's [F]settled in a final location
It's [C]understood that [G]Hollywood
sells [F]Californi[Dm]cation

[Pre-chorus 1]
[Am][F][Am][F]
[Am]Pay your surgeon very well
to [F]break the spell of aging
[Am]Celebrity skin, is this your chin,
or [F]is that war you're waging?
[Am]First born unicorn[F]
[Am]Hardcore soft porn[F]

[Chorus 1]
[C]Dream of Cali[G]forni[Dm]cation[Am]

[Verse 3]
[Am]Marry me, girl, be my fairy to the world,
be my [F]very own constellation
A [Am]teenage bride with a baby inside
getting [F]high on information
And [C]buy me a star on the [G]boulevard,
it's [F]Californi[Dm]cation
[Am][F][Am][F]

[Verse 4]
[Am]Space may be the final frontier
but it's [F]made in a Hollywood basement
And [Am]Cobain can you hear the spheres
singing [F]songs off Station To Station?
And [C]Alderaan's not [G]far away,
it's [F]Californi[Dm]cation

[Pre-chorus 2]
[Am][F][Am][F]
[Am]Born and raised by those
who praise [F]control of population
Well, [Am]everybody's been there
and I [F]don't mean on vacation
[Am]First born unicorn[F]
[Am]Hardcore soft porn[F]

[Verse 5]
[Am]Destruction leads to a very rough road
but it [F]also breeds creation
And [Am]earthquakes are to a girl's guitar,
they're [F]just another good vibration
And [C]tidal waves couldn't [G]save the world
from [F]Californi[Dm]cation

[Pre-chorus 3]
[Am][F][Am][F]
[Am]Pay your surgeon very well
to [F]break the spell of aging
[Am]Sicker than the rest, there is no test,
but [F]this is what you're craving?
[Am]First born unicorn[F]
[Am]Hardcore soft porn[F]
