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]
