*Verse 1*
        A                   E             F#m     D         A
Are you out there where the rainy days begin to feel rather sad
        E                 F#m         D                  A
And the walls are closing in like the darkness around me
           E          F#m                   D            A
It's so hard to look away when the daylight doesn't ever stay
            E               F#m      D                   A
Above this dull apartment view - oh, I will surround you
                 E                   F#m
It's quite clear that I'm stuck here
           D              A         E               F#m          D     A
So I'll devise a plan and cut out a door in my new living room floor
               E             F#m
The porch light is so bright
             D                     A          E                  F#m       D
That I will quickly sneak down the dark metal shape of the rusty fire escape.

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

A, E, F#m, D (x4) [I must be in California]

*Verse 2* (A - E - F#m - D) <- Repeat

Aloha, my happy west coast friends
Do you feel alive
When the breaking waves arrive
And wash all around you
The beach homes and ocean side
Are quite well known by the evening tide
And we can sleep where we reside
With redwoods around us
The blue air is up there
And could I bring it down
I bottle it up and save it for a sweet summer night

*BRIDGE*

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


A, E, F#m, D (x4) [I must be in California]

   A          E              B       
Am I awake or is this just a dream?



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

...I must be in California.

A, E, F#m, D (x8) 
[I must be in California] 
[Oh my dear, I can feel you here]


Enjoy! Simon.S (RDB)
