E B C#m A E
are you out there where the rainy days begin to feel rather sad
B C#m A E
and the walls are closing in like the darkness around me
B C#m A E
it’s so hard to look away when the daylight doesn’t ever stay
B C#m A E
above this dull apartment view – oh , i will surround you
B C#m
it’s quite clear that i’m stuck here
A E B C#m A E
so i’ll devise a plan and cut out a door in my new living room floor
B C#m
the porch light is so bright
A E B C#m A
that i will quickly sneak down the dark metal shape of the rusty fire escape .
C#m A E
i bought a one – way ticket
B C#m
cause i knew i’d never see the ground
A E B C#m
unless i was aboard a jet plane and we were going down .
A E
when i wiped the tears from my eyes
B C#m
the warm water took me by surprise
A E C#m
and i woke up beside the ocean and i realized :
E B
i must be in california .
E , B , C#m , A ( x4 ) [ i must be in california ]
E B C#m A E
aloha , my happy west coast friends – do you feel alive
B C#m A E
when the breaking waves arrive and rush all around you?
B C#m A E
the beach homes in oceanside are quite well – known by the evening tide
B C#m A E
and we can sleep where we reside with redwoods around us .
B C#m A
the blue air is up there and could i bring it down ,
E B C#m A
i’d bottle it up and save it for a sweet summer night .
C#m A E
i bought a one – way ticket
B C#m
cause i knew i’d never see the ground
A E B C#m
unless i was aboard a jet plane and we were going down .
A E
when i wiped the tears from my eyes
B C#m
the warm water took me by surprise
A E C#m
and i woke up beside the ocean and i realized :
E B
i must be in california .
E B C#m A ( x4 ) [ i must be in california ]
A E B
Am i awake or is this just a dream?
( key change , move capo up to 5th fret )
E B C#m
the new year is out here
A E B
and i will make a lovely list of your charms
C#m A
so i’ll never feel alone in your arms .
. . . i must be in california .
E , B , C#m , B ( x8 )
[ i must be in california ]
[ oh my dear , i can feel you here ]
