C Am
Now it's getting so I'm mad when someone says your name
G C
'Cause I've had to say good-bye to friends who couldn't stay away
F C
And sometimes it felt so wrong to never want to lean on you
F G C
You may stand tall, but I've got two feet too
C Am
Now we talked of you in bars around a quiet beer
G C
Tell their tales of mine-gone stones where no one else can hear
F C
And later on outside, they say they're getting on a plane
F G C
To fly away, leaving you again
Am C
California, my friends all call you home
G C
And if you take away another, I'll be that much more alone
F C
Is it my fault that my kind are always drawn toward the sun
F G C
Like a child to home whenever darkness comes
C Am
Now in a few more years, I won't remember what it was to play
G C
The music of old friends who need to live so far away
F C
But can I once taste more than waters, then forsake them for the South
F F C
To feel California's ashes in my mouth
Am C
California, my friends all call you home
G C
And if you take away another, I'll be that much more alone
F C
Is it my fault that my kind are always drawn toward the sun
F G C
Like a child to home whenever darkness comes
Am C
California, my friends all call you home
G C
And if you take away another, I'll be that much more alone
F C
Is it my fault that my kind are always drawn toward the sun
F G C
Like a child to home whenever darkness comes
F G C
Like a child to home whenever darkness comes
