Chorus:
 C                       F          C       
I've been looking at the wrong ocean

 C                 G            
Carolina's been good to me

 C                          F           C       
But I've been looking at the wrong ocean

 Am      G         F       G           C    
California's where I want to be


Am G F C
Am G C


Verse 1:
 G                     F           C      G  
Twenty years of the same sun rising

G                             F            C     G  
My southern roots just been holding me down

 G                       F        C     
I wanna freefall over Mulholland

 F               C             G              
Out where the Eagles met Jackson Brown

 Em                  C              
Sit and watch the sun go down



Chorus:
 C                      F           C       
I've been looking at the wrong ocean

 C                 F       G      
Carolina's been good to me

 C                              F       C       
But I've been looking at the wrong ocean

 Am       G              F           C    
California's where I want to be

 Am       G             F         C    
California sounds good to me



Verse 2:
 G                             C                
From the Outer Banks to the City of Angels

 G                           C           
One-room apartment on the Boulevard

 G                                     C                     
Big show at the Troubadour and it's getting real lonely

 F                    G                    
The A & R man with the business cards

                     C      
Says I'm gonna be a star


 C            C                 F           C       
Cause I've been looking at the wrong ocean

Verse 3:
 C         Dm                   F           G     
Only so many smiles I can fake in a row

 Dm                        F              G      
So many friends that I really don't know

     Dm                               F       G     
The devil on my shoulder whispers in my ear

 F                       G                         
Look homeward angel, what you doing out here?

 C                              
It's been a long three years



Chorus:
 C                      F           C       
I've been looking at the wrong ocean

 C                 F       G      
Carolina's been good to me

 C                              F       C       
But I've been looking at the wrong ocean

 Am       G              F           C     
Carolina's where I'm meant to be

 Am       G             F         C    
California sounds good to me
