[Intro 1]
[Em][G][Am][Em]
[Em][G][Am][Em]
[Em][G][Am][Em]
[Em][G][Am][Em]

[Verse 1]
I'm from a [Em]different type of left land,
[G]old wild [Am]West land
[Em]Nose bleeds,
palm trees and tumbleweeds wrestlin'
Outside they say it's happy [G]here
but it's de[Am]pressin
[Em]Too many pretty faces catchin' my attention
So I look 'em,
remind my[G]self in this [Am]smudge glass
That [Em]pretty isn't everything, you punkass
Always hard to see past the surface
when it [G]looks so [Am]perfect
But her [Em]eyes will disguise dirt on purpose
You listening?
I grew up here, [G]under the [Am]sun
In grade [Em]school,
I was the odd one out of the bunch
And I don't mean I was the kid to eat
[G]bugs for [Am]lunch
I was the [Em]one who wasn't comin' from
where they're comin' from, uh
I speak poetically
and [G]never pride my [Am]ignorance
[Em]But this California shit is rigorous
So they say it's happy here,
happiness is [G]figurative
I'm [Am]happy cause of [Em]me,
doesn't matter where I'm livin'

[Chorus 1]
If the [Em]sun was G[G]od, [Am]I'd be c[Em]overed in faith
If the ocean was the [G]devil,
[Am]I'd be c[Em]overed in hate
I'm [G]so [Am]West [Em]Coast,
it's a goddamn shame
I'm [G]so [Am]West [Em]Coast,
it's a goddamn shame

[Verse 2]
I'm waking [Em]up underneath sheets,
[G]naked, still [Am]sweating
[Em]Slept in late so everybody else is ready
My friend called up, he said "hurry up, buddy,
It's almost sundown already"
So I hopped [Em]up, I went and washed [G]up
I [Am]ate some pas[Em]ta then I gave my Mom hugs
And then I thought, uuh
It's gonna be a [G]pretty nice [Am]night
(But [Em]pretty isn't everything, right?)
Golden state mind, I'm taking my [G]time
[Am]Plain white [Em]shirt and a skinny black tie
My top let down when I get picked [G]up,
[Am]PC H[Em], so California
Maybe they were right,
happiness [G]is a warm [Am]gun
But be[Em]fore you shoot please, warn us
Life is too fun,
Cali[G]fornia will you [Am]marry me?
Let [Em]God be the sun
and in the ocean they shall bury me

[Chorus 2]
If the [Em]sun was G[G]od, [Am]I'd be c[Em]overed in faith
If the ocean was the [G]devil,
[Am]I'd be c[Em]overed in hate
I'm [G]so [Am]West [Em]Coast,
it's a goddamn shame
I'm [G]so [Am]West [Em]Coast,
it's a goddamn shame
I'm [G]so [Am]West [Em]Coast,
it's a goddamn shame
I'm [G]so [Am]West [Em]Coast,

[Outro 1]
it's a goddamn shame
[Em][G][Am][Em]
[Em][G][Am][Em]
[Em][G][Am][Em]
[Em][G][Am][Em]
[Em]I'm so W[G]est [Am]Coas[Em]t,
it's a goddamn shame
I'm [G]so [Am]West [Em]Coast,
it's a goddamn shame
[Fade out]
