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

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

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

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

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

E MajorE BB C# minorC#m a (x4) [I must be in California]

  a     E MajorE       BB
A minorAm I awake or is this just a dream?

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

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

...I must be in California.

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