Tuning: Standard EBGDAE

Difficulty: Novice

A
on the way to california
E                             D7
and i don't mean california literally
                          A      E
i was thinking, it's so comforting quiet


A
you read so softly over my head
E                                                       D7
it's late but i'm maintaining interest in the things that you say
A                          E
i could listen to you speak all day

A
in the silence dripping wet with
E
kisses running down my lips
D7
could be just a good friend
A                               E
who knows at this point anyway

A                         D7              A      E     A
there's just something about the way you surrender your eyes
A                        D7                A    E     A
without this barrier of bodies, we'd already be inside


A
Like two children at first glance
E
we're building castles in the sand
D7
It's so delicately dreamt of
A                  E
this immediate intimacy

A
on the way to California
E                                 D7
and i don't mean california literally
                 A               E    A
i was thinking, i was thinking i'm not dreaming
          E
I'm not dreaming
           D7
I'm not dreaming
          A               E
not this time anyway

A
(do do do)
E      D7
(do do do)
   A      E
(do do do)

A
I've got a feeling buried deep down inside of me
E
I've got a feeling buried deep down and
D7
who knows what it means to have a feeling
A                  E
buried so deep down

A
But i never felt quite so open for love
E
I've never felt quite so open before and
D7                 A        E
maybe my imagination runs away with me...

A                  D7     E
You know I don't mind...
A                  D7     E
you know I don't mind...
A                  D7     E    A
you know, I don't mind...at all
D7  E
Oh no
A D7 E
at all
A                               D7    E      A
and if you should take me, I'd let you break my heart
D7    E
oh, no
A                         D7     E      A
and if you should take me, I'd let you break my heart
D7   E
oh oh
A
my heart
D7  E
oh oh
A
my heart
