Verse 1:
Em Am D7 G
I saw you at the picture show wearin’ that dress you never liked.
Em Am D7 G
You know, the one I bought for you with purple flowers and green pinstripes.
Em Am D7 G
I know it’s ugly, that’s why I bought it for you.
Em Am D7 G
It needed natural beauty. A pretty girl would only do.
Pre-Chorus:
C Am
Where's that dress now? Pull it out for the sunshine.
C Am
Where's that smile now? Let it out. In the meantime…

G C Am D7

Verse 2:
Em Am D7 G
I heard you had a story told by a girl you never liked.
Em Am D7 G
I know she’s not the sweetest, but she made me coffee in the late, late night.
Em Am D7 G
At least she calls me back. That's nothing you’d ever do.
Em Am D7 G
At least she takes her chances. I know, ‘cause I’ve counted all her tattoos.
Pre-Chorus:
C Am
Where's that dress now? Pull it out for the sunshine.
C Am
Where's that smile now? Let it out. In the meantime…
Chorus:
G C Am D7
I’ll be waiting in northern California for ya. x4: (End on Gmaj7)
