Don't you know baby i'm a leading man

Chorus:
D           D6
California, i hope that it wakes you
D
From all of the darkness
     D6
That i couldn't break through
        D                   D6
'cause i'm gonna miss you, i'm gonna miss you
D                    D6
I'm gonna miss you, i'm gonna miss you

Verse:
Don't you know that i did the things i could
I rubbed your back when you were sleeping
But all along baby it was understood
That you were leaving, absolutely
Since the very first day we met

Chorus

Bridge:
D               G
Like i miss the ocean
     D         A
When i go to sleep
Bm               Em      A
Man, it's gonna break my heart
