I'm gonna have to bend over.
Never

[F#]
shoulda listened to that friend of mine.
[G#] He said the world was here, and the girls were fine.
[D] But all [Bm] I do is wait and lie.
[F#] Can't be told that I'm not right.
Never should've climbed the Rockies in my lousy car.
Three thousand miles to chase this star I [Bm] gotta save my money [D] and ten less bucks
[B] To get that [C#] eastbound flight Don't wanna waste [Bm] another day
In the land of the [A] endless summer
Sometimes [Bm] it seems these California dreams Are just one [A] long bummer
And I [C#] was born the son [D] of a mama
And I'm [E] gonna keep on keep on waiting on New [F#m] Year's [E] Day
[F#m]
[E] I'll [F#]
[Em] [F#m] be up all night making body heat Bring my golden slippers down to two streets
[Bm] And don't that glockenspiel sound sweet [F#m] In the January air
I'm gonna raise my glass to the first sunrise Dance and strut with all my guys
I [Bm] gotta kiss the girl with [D] the ice blue eyes [C#] Confetti in her hair
I gotta be there
Don't wanna [E] waste [Bm] another day In the land of the [A] endless summer
Sometimes [Bm] it seems these California dreams Are just one [A] long bummer
And I [C#] was born the son [D] of a mama
And I'm [E] gonna keep on keep on waiting on New [F#m] Year's [E] Day
[F#]
Here we stand at your [B] door like we did the year [C#m] before
Give us [F#] whiskey, give us [B] gin, open up and let us [F#] in
Here we stand at your [B] door like we did the year [F#m] before
Give us whiskey, give us [B] gin, open up and let us [F#] in
Here we stand at your [B] door like we did the year [C#m] before
Give us whiskey, give us [B] gin, open up and let us [F#] in

[Bm] Don't wanna waste another day In the land of the [A] endless summer
Sometimes [Bm] it seems these California dreams Are just one [A] long bummer
But I [C#] was born the [D] son of a mama
And I'm gonna [E] keep on keep on keep on
And [Bm] I'm gonna stay and lay in the land of the [A] endless summer
Sometimes [Bm] it seems these California dreams Are just one [A] long bummer
I [C#] was born the [D] son of a mama
And I'm [E] gonna keep on keep on keep on
Don't wanna [Bm] wait in the land of the [A] endless summer
[Bm] Sometimes it seems these California dreams Are just one [A] long bummer
