Chords

Notes: In the video, Noah seems to play the G like this 3x0033 and the short C between G and G and between G and Em like that 3x2033. He also seems to plays other C like this 332033 in the verses and 332010 in the chorus and outro. The D is played 554030 as he usually does. You can play it like that: G: 320033 C: x32033 Em: 022033 D: xx0232 It's simpler and still sounds pretty good. [Verse 1]
    G       C      G
California, golden morning

C     Em                            C
I can feel it in the silence of the room

       G       C       G        C        Em
On the carpet, shadows creep in from the window

                     C
It's a room without a view

         G         C       G
Just the creeping, endless traffic

C          Em                     C
Stretching off into a wash of hazy blue

      G         C       G
On my mattress, killing hours

C      Em           C       G   C G
Trying not to call you, yeah
[Verse 2]
        G        C     G
All the vampires of the valley

    C        Em                              C
Are cracking jokes and blowing smoke like cigarettes

            G       C      G
While their mothers in the suburbs

    C      Em                            C
Are taking pills with wine and trying to forget

            G       C     G
And rows of houses, empty windows

C        Em                           C
Lit with silent signs of life in the TV

          G       C    G
While the water's disappearing

C        Em                C
Down the cracks in the concrete
[Chorus]
           C              G         Em          D
And if you look, you will see I got blood on my sleeve

          C      G             Em         D
And I can be anything that you want me to be

       C      G      D
In California,

     C      G      D
California

                   C      G   D
I'm tearing at the seams, oh, oh

                   C      G   D
I'm tearing at the seams, oh, oh
[Outro]
                   C      G   D
I'm tearing at the seams, oh, oh

                   C      G   D
I'm tearing at the seams, oh, oh

                   C                G          D
I'm tearing at the seams,           oh,        oh
(Don't make me make up my mind, I'm running out of time)
                   C                G          D
I'm tearing at the seams,           oh,        oh
(Don't make me make up my mind, I'm running out of time)
                   C                G          D
I'm tearing at the seams,           oh,        oh
(Don't make me make up my mind, I'm running out of time)
                   C                G          D
I'm tearing at the seams,           oh,        oh
(Don't make me make up my mind, I'm running out of time)
                   C                G          D
I'm tearing at the seams,           oh,        oh
(Don't make me make up my mind, I'm running out of time)
                   C                G          D
I'm tearing at the seams,           oh,        oh
(Don't make me make up my mind, I'm running out of time)
       C
In California
