Verse 1:
D Bm
When I came back home from the USA
A G A D
I had nothin' in my pockets and not a lot to say
D Bm
Though I knew somehow we would meet real soon
A
But the way you've been avoidin' me
G A D
It's like I'm livin' on the moon
Chorus:
A Bm
Here I am on this side of the stars
A
Livin' in California
A Bm
And sometimes I get out of reach in the bars
Em
Dreamin' about my life
A
And maybe one day I'll take a wife
Verse 2:
D Bm
Though I spent some time on the evil road
A
I've done things that I'm ashamed of
G A D
Oh, man. It's such a heavy load
D Bm
Though I knew somehow, we would meet real soon
A
But the way you've been avoidin' me
G A D
It's like I'm livin' on the moon
Chorus:
A Bm
Here I am on this side of the stars
A
Livin' in California
A Bm
And sometimes I get out of reach in the bars
Em
Dreamin' about my life
A
And maybe one day I'll take a wife
Ohhhhh
