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

 A    F#m
Southern California

 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
