 Riff x 4
Riff over verse

Verse:
A

Miss California what did I do wrong
A
It seems I've loved you
A
For just a little too long
                  C
You've gone and left me
                   D
For some preacher's way

    A n.c.
Now you act like you never knew me
And you can't hear a word I say

Verse:
A
Miss California did I get in your way
A
Did the neighbors warn you
A
What would happen some day
                  C
That a love like mine
                 D
Was never good anyway
A
N.C.
They said think about your reputation now
Before you get carried away

Chorus:
         C                     D                     A     A

          C                   D                      A     A
Don't you know what's good for me, can be good for you

Can be good for me too
              C                 D                    A     A

Verse:
       A
Miss California was I a little too proud
A
I'm standing in the streets now
A
And I'm screaming out loud
                             C
You try to shove me in your closet
                            D
With your skulls and your bones
 A
I can be who I am, you see
A
If I want to do it all alone

Chorus:

  C         D        A       A
Yeah yeah yeah yea
            C                  D                             A   A
Don't you know what's good for me, could be good for you
           D                    C
Don't you know what is good for you
     G              A# A
Can be good for me too
           C                    D                  A           A
Don't you know what's good for me, could be good for you

Verse:
A
Your sweet seduction led me far from home
A
Your self-destruction gives me sticks and stones
C                                D
Your propositions make me feel so cold

Bridge:
N.C.
When the hand that's trying to hold me down
Is the one I'm trying to hold
I know the hand that's trying to hold me down
Is the one I'm trying to hold
I said the hand that's trying to force me back
Is the one that won't let me go
