[A] [D] [A]
[D] [A]
It's a three day drive, [Bm] she drives all night, says she's [D] leaving at the crack [A] of dawn.
Well she might still be [B] lying here with me, but [D] in her heart she's already [A] gone.
Already packed up, the altern was [B] gassed up, she done put [D] the map up there [A] on the dash.
I'm all tore up just trying [Bm] to man up, damn and these [D] tears up, I can't [A] hold them back.
She's in love with California, and [Bm] that west coast sunshine dream.
These ain't [D] no Hollywood's, and these hills [E] ain't Beverly.
[A] There ain't no beaches on these back roads, no [Bm] sunset on the boulevard.
[D] She's in love with [E] California, breaking [A] my heart.
[D] [A]
Got a waitress job, [Bm] waiting in an IHOP, though [D] we're rocking head, [A] universal city.
Got a glamour shot [Bm] in her hip pocket, [D] hoping somebody thinks [A] she's pretty.
By this time tomorrow, she'll hit [Bm] Colorado, I'll be drowning [D] my sorrow in a bottle [A] of vain.
Before she hits blackstaff, maybe [D] she'll backtrack, but I wouldn't bet that if I [A] was me.
She's in love with California, and [Bm] that west coast sunshine dream.
These ain't [D] no Hollywood's, and these hills [E] ain't Beverly.
[A] There ain't no beaches on these back roads, no [Bm] sunset on the boulevard.
She's [D] in love with [E] California, breaking [A] my heart.
[D] [A] Well she [Bm] was all mine, now [D] it's go time.
[A] She's in love with California, and [Bm] that west coast sunshine dream.
These ain't [D] no Hollywood's, and these hills [E] ain't Beverly.
[A] There ain't no beaches on these back roads, no [Bm] sunset on the boulevard.
She's [D] in love with [E] California, breaking [A] my heart.
Well she's [Bm] in love with [E] California, breaking [A] my heart.
Oh she's breaking my [D] heart.
