Intro: Am  G   F 


Am           G              F 
It ain't the weather, that brings you down 
Am          G           F 
The darkest shadows I've ever found 
Am         G             F 
Somewhere down along these streets of gold 
Am              G           F             G 
My dreams like property I bought and sold 


C      G        F 
Goddam California 
C      G        F 
I'll miss my Tennessee 
C      G              F 
Nobody here will ever want you 
Am               G         F           G 
Just how cold it all could be 


Am        G                F 
Now the canyons and the boulevards 
Am             G           F 
The loneliness has never been far 
Am           G           F 
I see their faces as they turn away 
Am         G             F                  G 
The old ones disappear while the young ones stay 


C      G        F 
Goddam California 
C      G        F 
I'll miss my Tennessee 
C      G              F 
Nobody here will ever want you 
Am               G         F           G 
Just how cold it all could be 


Em     F             C 
Nobody ever wants to go 
Em     F             C 
Nobody ever wants to leave 
Em     F                  C 
Nobody tells you who they are 
G    Am     F         G 
Only who they want to be 


C      G        F 
Goddam California 
C      G        F 
I'll miss my Tennessee 
C      G              F 
Nobody here will ever want you 
Am               G         F 
Just how cold it all could be 
Am               G         F 
Just how cold it all could be 
Am               G         F  
Just how cold it all could be
