California

C                             G                           Am       F
Early in the morning you'll remember all the words just right
       C                       G                              Am       F
If you never want to be a silohette you've got to find your light
   C                    G
Eh, for forty days and forty nights
Am                 F
  You lie awake, I know you cry
    C                           G                      Am
But dreaming in your room isn't ever going to get it done
                 N.C.
Yeah, you got to walk before you run


[Chorus]
C           G
  Hey son, go to California
  Am                      F
Dance with the angels, dress how you wanna
C           G
  Anyway, just like the river
   Am                     F
Starts with the raindrop, you'll make it better
C                  G
  Papa said, son fight like the great ones
Am                      F
  Keep your chin tucked just like I taught ya
C           G
  Anyway, who said you can't go
Am                F
  Where you wanna? California

[Verse 2]
   C                               G                Am       F
So call me when your close and you feel them city lights
             C                        G                             Am        F
Dont let the voices in your head talk too, you know they tell you lies
     C                      G
Yeah, for a hundred days, a hundred years, yeah
Am                         F
  There'll be demons, yeah there'll be fears
    C                     G                     Am
One day you're gonna look back how far you've gone
               N.C.
But you better walk before you run


[Chorus]
C           G

Am                      F
  Keep your chin tucked just like I taught ya
C           G
  Anyway, who said you can't go
Am                F
  Where you wanna? California
