Intro 1
(C major) (D minor) (C major) (D minor)
Verse 1
When (D minor) the sun (C major) sets
beneath the mountain tops
And the water (D minor) begins to rise
I try (C major) to contain my excitement
But the force of the (D minor) night
conquers my surprise
(G major) Kids on the street corner peddlin' maps
On (A minor) how to meet the stars
(D minor) Prostitute turns, (A minor) my body (G major) (D minor) burns
She'll (A minor) cure your loneliness (G major) for half an hour

Verse 2
(C major) Cars breeze dow- own the avenue
Rock 'n' roll's sus (F major) pended in mid air
(C major) A girl cha- anting nonsense
takes my money
Puts a flower (F major) in my hair
(G major) Billboards grin and my head spins
This may be (A minor) heaven but it's not my home
All the sunshine (D minor) and beautiful people
Make me feel (G major) more and more alone (E major)
Verse 3
Southern Califor (A minor) nia,
where your dream (G major) s almost come true (F major) (G major)
(F major) Southern California, (A minor)
where everyone's a star (G major) except for you (F major) (G major)
(F major) Southern Califor (G major) nia,
like a beautiful girl you cannot touch (A minor)
Everyone (D minor) lives forever here,
those (G major) were my thoughts
Verse 4
And (A minor) I don't wanna be a part
of that all (E minor) American dream
But still (A minor) I keep on comin' back,
I can't let it get (B flat major) the best of me
(The best of me, best of (A minor) me)
Lord give me the strength to see (C major) myself clearly, (F major)
(G major) see myself clearly (F major)
Oh- oh- (G major) oh- oh,
and time (A minor) flies by like a meteor in the sky- y
And I'm (E minor) wondering is it just me
(A minor) Everything seems so perfect like some com
(B flat major) mercial on TV (on TV, TV, TV) (A minor)
Lord give us the strength to show real feel (F major) ings,
(G major) (F major) real feelings
(G major)
Verse 5
(F major)
In Southern (A minor) California,
where your dream (G major) s almost come true (F major) (G major)
(F major) In Southern Califor (A minor) nia,
where everyone's a star (G major) except for you (F major) (G major)
(F major) Southern Califor (G major) nia,
like a beautiful girl you cannot touch (A minor)
Every (D minor) one lives forever here,
everyone lives forever here
Everyone lives forever here,
everyone lives forever (G major) here (D minor)
Everyone lives forever here,
everyone lives forever here
Everyone lives forever (G major) here (D minor)
