Meet Me In California by Plain White T's


Intro: E

 E
 I knew that this was wrong as I
             C#m
 Stood reaching for the bedroom light,
            A
 But she turned me on.
         Am
 So I turned it off.
 E
 Now every man has got his flaws,
           C#m
 His breaking point, his sacred cause.
         A
 And I had mine,
           Am
 But I crossed that line.

A
 Now I could never ask you to
G#m
 Forgive me for the things I do,
F#m
 But if you ever need me
B
 You know where I'll be.

E
 Meet me in California,
C#m               A
 I'll be there waiting for your call.
        Am
 I'll be there waiting for you.
E
 Cause you know in California
C#m                A
 There's something better for us all.
      Am
 Meet me in California.

E
 This night was like a bible verse
            C#m
 With pages torn and missing words
        A
 Condemning me.
     Am
 And I'm on my knees.
 E
 I wish that I could start again,
 C#m
 Peel the past like sunburned skin
   A
 Right off of me,
          Am
 But it's not that easy.

 I don't wanna say goodbye
              C#m
 And I don't wanna make you cry.

 I just wanna see you smile again.
