West Coast Friendship

E B C#m A E Are you out there where the rainy days begin to feel rather sad B C#m A E And the walls are closing in like the darkness around me B C#m A E It's so hard to look away when the daylight doesn't ever stay B C#m A E Above this dull apartment view - oh, I will surround you B C#m It's quite clear that I'm stuck here A E B C#m A E So I'll devise a plan and cut out a door in my new living room floor B C#m The porch light is so bright A E B C#m A That I will quickly sneak down the dark metal shape of the rusty fire escape. C#m A E I bought a one-way ticket B C#m Cause I knew I'd never see the ground A E B C#m Unless I was aboard a jet plane and we were going down. A E When I wiped the tears from my eyes B C#m The warm water took me by surprise A E B And I woke up beside the ocean and I realized: E B I must be in California. E B C#m A (4x) I must be in California E B C#m A E Aloha, my happy West Coast friends - do you feel alive B C#m A E When the breaking waves arrive and rush all around you? B C#m A E The beach homes in Oceanside are quite well-known by the evening tide B C#m A E And we can sleep where we reside with redwoods around us. B C#m A The blue air is up there and could I bring it down, E B C#m A I'd bottle it up and save it for a sweet summer night. C#m A E I bought a one-way ticket B C#m Cause I knew I'd never see the ground A E B C#m Unless I was aboard a jet plane and we were going down. A E When I wiped the tears from my eyes B C#m The warm water took me by surprise A E C#m And I woke up beside the ocean and I realized: E B I must be in California. E B C#m A (4x) I must be in California A E B Am I awake or is this just a dream? (KEY CHANGE MOVE CAPO UP TO 5TH FRET) E B C#m The New Year is out here A E B And I will make a lovely list of your charms C#m A So I'll never feel alone in your arms. ...I must be in California.
