California, [G] golden morning [Em] I can feel it in the silence [C] of the room
[G] On the carpet, shadows creeping From [Em] the window, it's a room without [C] a view
[G] Just the creeping, [C]
[G] endless traffic [C] [Em] Stretching off into a wash of [C] hazy heat
[G]
On my mattress, keeling out [C] [Em] Trying not to [C] call you [G] in
All the vampires of the valley [Em] Cracking jokes and blowing smoke [G] like cigarettes
While their mothers in the suburbs [C]
Taking pills with wine and trying to forgive
[G] Roads of houses, empty windows [Em] Lit with silent signs of life [C] from the deep
[G]
While the water's disappearing Down [Em] the cracks in the [C] concrete
And if you look, [G] you will see That [Em] I got blood [E] [D] on my [G] sleeve
And [C] I can be
[Em] anything That [G] you want [D] me to be

In California, in California
I'm tearing at the seams

Don't make me make up my mind I'm running out of time
Don't make me make up my mind I'm running out of time
Don't [Em] make me make up [G] my mind I'm running out in [C] California
[G] On the carpet, shadows creeping From [Em] the window, it's a room without [C] a view
