It's the end of the world

And all of western civilisation

At least it settles in a final location
C G
It's understood that Hollywood

Am
Pay your Surgeon very well
F
To break the spell of aging
Am
Celebraty skin is this your chin
F
Or is it that war your waging.

Marry me girl be my fairy to the world

A tenage bride with a baby inside

And buy me a star from the boulevard

It's californication

Space may be the final frontier

But it's made in a Hollywood basement

Cobain can you hear the spheres

Singing song from station to station

Am
Destruction leads to a very rough road
F
But it also breeds creation
Am
And earthquakes are to a girl's guitar
F
They're just another good vibration
C
And tidal waves couldn't save the world
F
From californication
Am
Pay your surgeon very well
F
To break the spell of aging
Am
Sicker than the rest There is no test
F
But this is what your craving
