Verse 1:

Fm7Fm7     Gm7Gm7
Yeah I'm not feeling to well
Fm7Fm7              Gm7Gm7
I should take my time like my mother taught me so well
Fm7Fm7            Gm7Gm7
But I'm grieving, cos I'm leaving a feeling so deep alone
Fm7Fm7          Gm7Gm7
And I'm sleeping as I walk the streets of where I call home

Fm7Fm7           Gm7Gm7
There's many times where I've been
Fm7Fm7       Gm7Gm7
Close, but no cigars there
Fm7Fm7                  Gm7Gm7
I never loved to love, as much as you loved to cry
Fm7Fm7               Bb7Bb7
So why does it feel it's all I'm doing all the time


Chorus:

Fm7Fm7  Gm7Gm7         Abmaj7Abmaj7   Gm7Gm7
   Yeah it might be the way that I see it all
Fm7Fm7           Gm7Gm7      Abmaj7Abmaj7   Gm7Gm7
   I tried to be the one, but it's easy now to see you around
Fm7Fm7         Gm7Gm7     Abmaj7Abmaj7        Gm7Gm7
   The vision was always wrong like the light that made us run
  Abm7Abm7     Bb7Bb7
In California I can't afford to, make you mine, but baby I still make you cry

Verse 2:

Fm7Fm7         Gm7Gm7
Yeah I hear you're doing pretty well
Fm7Fm7         Gm7Gm7
So I try and put you on the shelf
Fm7Fm7           Gm7Gm7
But I didn't get high to feel this strange
Fm7Fm7        Gm7Gm7
But I knew it had gone

Fm7Fm7          Gm7Gm7
Another cliché is how I've been
Fm7Fm7            Gm7Gm7
I'm glad that no one really cares
Fm7Fm7                    Gm7Gm7
I never learnt to love as well as I could tell a lie
Fm7Fm7              Bb7Bb7
So now I'm wondering what I'm telling myself now


Chorus:

Fm7Fm7  Gm7Gm7         Abmaj7Abmaj7   Gm7Gm7
   Yeah it might be the way that I see it all
Fm7Fm7           Gm7Gm7      Abmaj7Abmaj7   Gm7Gm7
   I tried to be the one, but it's easy now to see you around
Fm7Fm7         Gm7Gm7     Abmaj7Abmaj7        Gm7Gm7
   The vision was always wrong like the light that made us run
  Abm7Abm7     Bb7Bb7
In California I can't afford to love


Final chorus:

Fm7Fm7  Gm7Gm7         Abmaj7Abmaj7   Gm7Gm7
   Yeah it might be the way that I see it all
Fm7Fm7           Gm7Gm7      Abmaj7Abmaj7   Gm7Gm7
   I tried to be the one, but it's easy now to see you around
Fm7Fm7         Gm7Gm7     Abmaj7Abmaj7        Gm7Gm7
   The vision was always wrong like the light that made us run
  Abm7Abm7     Bb7Bb7
In California I can't afford to, make you mine I can't, I can't
             Ebmaj7Ebmaj7
Baby I can't see you cry
