Brackets ([ ]) mean the lyrics are sung in the background and are optional.

[*VERSE 1*]
Are you [A]out there where the [E]rainy days beg[F#m]in to fe[D]el rather [A]sad
And the [E]walls are closing [F#m]in like the [D]darkness around me [A]
It's so har[E]d to look a[F#m]way when the daylight [D]doesn't ever [A]stay
Above this d[E]ull apartment vi[F#m]ew - oh, [D]I will surround you [A]
It's quite clear [E]that I'm stuck here [F#m]
So I'll dev[D]ise a plan and [A]cut out a [E]door in my new l[F#m]iving room fl[D]oor [A]
The porch light[E] is so bright [F#m]
That I will q[D]uickly sneak down the [A]dark metal [E]shape of the rusty [F#m]fire escap[D]e.

[*BRIDGE*]

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

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

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


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