E B C#m A E
Are you out there where the rainy days begin to feel rather sad
B C#m A E
And the walls are closing in like the darkness around me
B C#m A E
It's so hard to look away when the daylight doesn't ever stay
B C#m A E
Above this dull apartment view - oh, I will surround you
B C#m
It's quite clear that I'm stuck here
A E B C#m A E
So I'll devise a plan and cut out a door in my new living room floor
B C#m
The porch light is so bright
A E B C#m A
That I will quickly sneak down the dark metal shape of the rusty fire escape.
C#m A E
I bought a one-way ticket
B C#m
Cause I knew I'd never see the ground
A E B C#m
Unless I was aboard a jet plane and we were going down.
A E
When I wiped the tears from my eyes
B C#m
The warm water took me by surprise
A E B
And I woke up beside the ocean and I realized:
E B
I must be in California.
E, B, C#m, A (x4) [I must be in California]

The beach homes in Oceanside are quite well-known by the evening tide
B C#m A E
And we can sleep where we reside with redwoods around us.
B C#m A
The blue air is up there and could I bring it down,
E B C#m A
I'd bottle it up and save it for a sweet summer night.
C#m A E
I bought a one-way ticket
B C#m
Cause I knew I'd never see the ground
A E B C#m
Unless I was aboard a jet plane and we were going down.
A E
When I wiped the tears from my eyes
B C#m
The warm water took me by surprise
A E C#m
And I woke up beside the ocean and I realized:
E B
I must be in California.

Am I awake or is this just a dream?

The New Year is out here
A E B
And I will make a lovely list of your charms

So I'll never feel alone in your arms.
