Verse 1:

Fm7          Gm7
Yeah I'm not feeling to well
Fm7                           Gm7
I should take my time like my mother taught me so well
Fm7                       Gm7
But I'm grieving, cos I'm leaving a feeling so deep alone
Fm7                   Gm7
And I'm sleeping as I walk the streets of where I call home


Fm7                      Gm7
There's many times where I've been
Fm7             Gm7
Close, but no cigars there
Fm7                                   Gm7
I never loved to love, as much as you loved to cry
Fm7                              Bb7
So why does it feel it's all I'm doing all the time


Chorus:

Fm7   Gm7                  Abmaj7     Gm7
      Yeah it might be the way that I see it all
Fm7                     Gm7           Abmaj7      Gm7
      I tried to be the one, but it's easy now to see you around
Fm7                  Gm7         Abmaj7               Gm7
      The vision was always wrong like the light that made us run
   Abm7         Bb7
In California I can't afford to, make you mine, but baby I still make you cry

Verse 2:

Fm7                  Gm7
Yeah I hear you're doing pretty well
Fm7                  Gm7
So I try and put you on the shelf
Fm7                      Gm7
But I didn't get high to feel this strange
Fm7               Gm7
But I knew it had gone

Fm7                   Gm7
Another cliché is how I've been
Fm7                        Gm7
I'm glad that no one really cares
Fm7                                       Gm7
I never learnt to love as well as I could tell a lie
Fm7                           Bb7
So now I'm wondering what I'm telling myself now


Chorus:

Fm7   Gm7                  Abmaj7     Gm7
      Yeah it might be the way that I see it all
Fm7                     Gm7           Abmaj7      Gm7
      I tried to be the one, but it's easy now to see you around
Fm7                  Gm7         Abmaj7               Gm7
      The vision was always wrong like the light that made us run
   Abm7         Bb7
In California I can't afford to love


Final chorus:

Fm7   Gm7                  Abmaj7     Gm7
      Yeah it might be the way that I see it all
Fm7                     Gm7           Abmaj7      Gm7
      I tried to be the one, but it's easy now to see you around
Fm7                  Gm7         Abmaj7               Gm7
      The vision was always wrong like the light that made us run
   Abm7         Bb7
In California I can't afford to, make you mine I can't, I can't
                         Ebmaj7
Baby I can't see you cry
