[Bb] [Dm]
[Eb] [Bb] I'm going to sing a song called,
On [F] a lonely day,
I look [Bb] out on the freeway,
I [F] can fantasize about the car [Bb] I drive.
Don't need [Eb] the [F] light on,
I can find [Gm] my way.
[Eb] It's been [Bb] so long,
now I have to [F] say,
[Eb] I'm going [Bb] to California,
[F] gonna live the life,
[Eb] [Bb] sipping on tequila,
[F] night after night,
[Eb] [Bb] dreaming of the moment
when [F] everything will fly,
[Eb] [Bb] little bit of love goes [F] wrong,
with [Bb] night.
[Gm]
[Bb] [Gm] I'm on [Eb] my [Bb] way,
heading [Gm] for the sun,
that's where [Eb] I'll [Bb] stay,
I'm [F] never going back home,
do you ever [Eb] feel [Bb] like,
you need [Gm] a change,
[Eb] [Bb] hang out where no one [F] knows your name.
I'm [Eb] going [Bb] to California,
[F] gonna live the life,
[Eb] [Bb] sipping on tequila,
night [F] after night,
[Eb] [Bb] dreaming of the moment
when [F] everything will fly,
[Eb] [Bb] little bit of love goes [F] wrong,
[Gm] with night.
Would you like to meet [F] me there,
we'll [Eb] be dancing on the sand,
dancing [G] on the [Gm] sand,
these days will never [F] end.
[Eb] On and on and on,
[Bb]
[Eb] on a [Bb] lonely day,
I look [Gm] out on the freeway,
I [Eb] can't [F] fantasize,
but the car [Gm] I drive,
don't need [Eb] the light [Bb] on,
I can find [Gm] my way.
[F] It's been [Bb] so long now,
I have to [F] say,
it's [Eb] been [Dm] so long now,
[Cm] I have to say.
[Eb] I'm going [Bb] to California,
[F] gonna live the life,
[Eb] [Bb] sipping on tequila,
night [F] after night,
[Eb] [Bb] dreaming of the moment
when [F] everything will fly,
[Eb] [Bb] little bit of love goes [F] wrong,
with [Eb] night.
[Bb] California,
gonna [F] live the life,
[Eb] [Bb] night [F]
[Bb] after night,
everything [F] will fly,
[Eb] [Bb] little bit of love goes wrong,
[F]
[Eb] [Bb] little bit of love,
[F] little bit of love,
[Eb] [Bb] little bit of love goes wrong,
[F] with [Eb] night.

oh [F]
[Bb] yeah,
[F] [Bb]
