         C                               G
Now it's getting so I'm mad when someone says your name

            Dm                                 Am
'Cause I've had to say goodbye to friends who couldn't stay away

    F                                   C                Am
And sometimes it felt so wrong to never want to lean on you

    Dm                   G             C
You may stand tall, but I've got two feet too

         C                             G
Now they talk of you in bars around a quiet beer

Dm                                         Am
Tell their tales of mind-gone stones where no one else can hear

    F                                  C              Am
And later on outside, they say they're getting on a plane

   Dm            G            C
To fly away, and live in you again

Am                          G
California, my friends all call you home

            Dm                         Am
And if you take away another, I'll be that much more alone

      F                                  C              Am
Is it my fault that my kind are always drawn toward the sun

         Dm                G              C
Like a child to home whenever darkness comes

C                                          G
Now in a few more years, I won't remember what it was to play

Dm                                    Am
The music of old friends who need to live so far away

     F                                  C                        Am
But can I once taste Northern waters, then forsake them for the South

     Dm                 G          C
To feel California's ashes in my mouth

Am                          G
California, my friends all call you home

            Dm                         Am
And if you take away another, I'll be that much more alone

      F                                  C              Am
Is it my fault that my kind are always drawn toward the sun

         Dm                G              C
Like a child to home whenever darkness comes

Am                          G
California, my friends all call you home

            Dm                         Am
And if you take away another, I'll be that much more alone

      F                                  C              Am
Is it my fault that my kind are always drawn toward the sun

         Dm                G              C
Like a child to home whenever darkness comes

         Dm                G              C
Like a child to home whenever darkness comes
