   E
Oh time,

              E
Where did the time go,

           D        D
What was I thinking,

              E
No compass no maps,

               E
No sail on the mast,

             D       D
This boat is sinking,

      D
We're going down.
[Chorus]
        A
There's too much in my head right now,

E
Got no way to slow it down,

D
No one is going to pull me out,

    A                E
Oh, I still make the same mistakes,

    D                       E
Oh, California wasted on me . . ..
[Verse 2]
             E
Stare at the sun,

                     D     D
Let the fire fill my eyes,

                E
See nothing but light,

                           D
And endless day banish the night,

      D
Let's set this right.
[Chorus]
        A
There's too much in my head right now,

E
Got no way to slow it down,

D                              D
No one is going to pull me out,

    A                E
Oh, I still make the same mistakes,

    D                       E    E
Oh, California wasted on me . . ..
[Bridge]
       D                                  D   E   E
At the line where the ocean meets the sky,

          D
I've been hoping I could see a sign,

D
Hoping I could see a sign.
[Chorus]
        A
There's too much in my head right now,

E
Got no way to slow it down,

D                              D
No one is going to pull me out,

    A                E
Oh, I still make the same mistakes,

    D
Oh, California wasted on me,

A                E
I still make the same mistakes,

    D                      A  E  D  D
I'm wasted out in California.
[Outro]
A                        E
 There is too much in my head right now,

    D      D
I'm wasted.

A               E
 Too much in my head right now,

    D          D
Oh, California wasted on me.
