    E          B       C#m   a     E
Are you out there where the rainy days begin to feel rather sad
    B         C#m     a         E
And the walls are closing in like the darkness around me
      B     C#m          a      E
It's so hard to look away when the daylight doesn't ever stay
      B        C#m   a          E
Above this dull apartment view - oh, I will surround you
         B          C#m
It's quite clear that I'm stuck here
      a       E     B        C#m     a   E
So I'll devise a plan and cut out a door in my new living room floor
        B       C#m
The porch light is so bright
       a           E     B         C#m    a
That I will quickly sneak down the dark metal shape of the rusty fire escape.

C#m    a       E
I bought a one-way ticket
         B       C#m
Cause I knew I'd never see the ground
        a        E         B   C#m
Unless I was aboard a jet plane and we were going down.
         a         E
When I wiped the tears from my eyes
        B        C#m
The warm water took me by surprise
        a         E    C#m
And I woke up beside the ocean and I realized:
E     B
I must be in California.

E, B, C#m, a (x4) [I must be in California]

E     B        C#m      a      E
Aloha, my happy West Coast friends - do you feel alive
     B        C#m   a          E
When the breaking waves arrive and rush all around you?
        B      C#m        a          E
The beach homes in Oceanside are quite well-known by the evening tide
       B       C#m      a       E
And we can sleep where we reside with redwoods around us.
      B      C#m      a
The blue air is up there and could I bring it down,
   E     B          C#m     a
I'd bottle it up and save it for a sweet summer night.

C#m    a       E
I bought a one-way ticket
         B       C#m
Cause I knew I'd never see the ground
        a        E         B   C#m
Unless I was aboard a jet plane and we were going down.
         a         E
When I wiped the tears from my eyes
        B        C#m
The warm water took me by surprise
        a         E    C#m
And I woke up beside the ocean and I realized:
E     B
I must be in California.

E B C#m a (x4) [I must be in California]

  a     E       B
Am I awake or is this just a dream?

(KEY CHANGE, MOVE CAPO UP TO 5TH FRET)

E      B      C#m
The New Year is out here
      a       E      B
And I will make a lovely list of your charms
          C#m      a
So I'll never feel alone in your arms.

...I must be in California.

E, B, C#m, B (x8)
