VERSE:
G           Em   D
I had this dream
Am               Cm
Singing with my brothers
G       Em    G         Am
In harmony, (oooooh ooh ooh)
 Am             Cm
Supporting each other
 C   Cm     C     Cm
Tailwinds, wheel spins,
 G                Em
Down the Pacific coast
Bm            B  E
  Surfing on the A.M.
Bm                   E
Heard those voices again


CHORUS:
 A        F#m
Southern California
 A     F#m
Dreams wake up for ya
Am              D
  And when you wake up here
Am             D          G C  G C  G A  B
  You wake up everywhere


VERSE:
G                    G   D
In the flow of the ocean
Am                     Cm
And the warmth of the rays
  G         Bm     Em     G        Am
Heard music in the air (oooooh ooh ooh)
Am           C
And in the waves
 C         Cm     C        Cm
The wind chimes, laughter rhymes,
G                   Em
We had nothing but time
Bm               E
In Southern California
Bm                        E
I heard the voice of the line


CHORUS:
 A        F#m
Southern California
 A     F#m
Dreams wake up for ya
Am              D
  And when you wake up here
Am            D          G C  G C  G A  B
  You wake up everywhere


BREAK:
 G                    Bm
Whoa, whoa, whoa it's magical
Em        Bm
Living a dream
 C           Am
Don't wanna sleep
C                   Am
You might miss something

 G                     Bm
Whoa, whoa, whoa, it's magical
Em                      Bm
I'm glad it happened to me
C               Am
Nodded off in a bad mood,
 C               D
Woke up in history


VERSE:
 G      D    Em     D
Surfer silhouettes,
Am                   Cm
The sun ran into the sea
G      Bm     G
As we headed home
Am               C
We drove into a movie
 C    Cm      C     Cm
Love songs, pretty girls,
 G                Em
Didn't want it to end
Bm                      E
Tried to slow down the motion
Bm                    E
So it could move us again


CHORUS:
 A        F#m
Southern California
 A     F#m
Dreams wake up for ya
Am              D
  And when you wake up here
Am            D
  You wake up everywhere


OUTRO:
 G   C     G C   G  C  G C
Southern, Cali, fornia...
 G   C     G C   G  C  G C
Southern, Cali, fornia...
(Whoa, whoa, whoa, it's magical)
(Glad it happened to me)

 G        C       G       C
Bow mama yama glory Allelluia
