Verse 
         G 
I've got blinded by the lights of the guys in the city 
        Bm 
I could easily shut my eyes 
        D 
I could easily find my sleep 
            G 
Within less jazz around the block 

Nothing to doubt nothing to hide 
         Bm 
You were blinded by the lights 
         D 
I've got lost in the city 


Chorus 

Em               G 
Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu 
               D           A 
We'll never go back to California 
Em               G  
Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu 
               D           A 
We'll never go back to California 

verse 2 
          G 
I've been trying to find a smell 

It's not in the country that I miss 
            Bm 
I wanted to grab you hand 
       D 
It was holding on to something 
          G 
The woman stared into my eyes 

I know there was nothing she could find 
  Bm                               D 
I thought it would be nice if you promess we'll be fine 

Chorus 

Em      G 
Ouuuuuuu 
               D           A 
We'll never go back to California 
Em     G 
Ouuuuuu 
               D           A 
We'll never go back to California 
Em       G 
Ouuuuuuuu 
               D            A 
We'll never go back to California 
Em      G 
Ouuuuuuu 
               D            A 
We'll never go back to California 

      G 
I'm a liar in a cheat 

I know time is on my side 
         Bm 
I've got plenty of years to waste 
         D 
I've got plenty of love to give 
         G 
Why do I care to spare another life time by the sea 
          Bm                                D 
If you're standing there with me then it's where I want to be
