Key: Bm Verse 1: Bm A I stretched myself across four states G A New lands, west coast, where my dreams lay Bm A I trade amber clay roads for the G A Sea foam and the endless sun rays Pre-Chorus: D 'Cause I was never told that I wasn't gonna get Am The things I want the most Em But people always say, "If it hasn't happened yet G Then maybe you should go"
Chorus: D F#m Bm Come get me out of California G No leaves are brown D F#m Bm I miss the seasons in Missouri G My dying town D F#m Bm Thought I'd be cool in California G I'd make you proud D F#m Bm To think I almost had it going G But I let you down Verse 2: Bm A Too hard to find reasons to stay G A Even true love could not persuade Pre-Chorus: D 'Cause I was never told that I wasn't gonna get Am The things I want the most Em But people always say, "If it hasn't happened yet G Then maybe you should go" Chorus: D F#m Bm Come get me out of California G No leaves are brown D F#m Bm I miss the seasons in Missouri G My dying town D F#m Bm Thought I'd be cool in California G I'd make you proud D F#m Bm To think I almost had it going G But I let you down Bridge: D Come get me out A Come get me out G Come get me out A Come get me out Chorus: D F#m Bm Come get me out of California G No leaves are brown D F#m Bm I miss the seasons in Missouri G My dying town D F#m Bm Thought I'd be cool in California G I'd make you proud D F#m Bm To think I almost had it going G But I let you down
