[Verse 1]
D                               E                  F#m
Look at that, I'm walking around like I just don't care
D                              E             F#m
Why is that? Cause baby I don't now that I'm here
D                             E                  F#m
Look at me, I'm staying up late in my blue suede shoes
D                               E               F#m
Shake it up, I'm dancing all night to the dirty blues
 
[Pre-Chorus]
D                     E             F#m
I like the light that shines on the water
D                     C#m          F#m
I love the waves that break on the shore
D                      E          F#m
I love the heat, can't get any hotter
Bm                          E              F#m
And every night we dance, I love you even more
 
[Chorus]
    D                   E                    F#m
California, land that I love I'm not turning back
    D                    E                  F#m
California, now that I'm home I'm not going back
    D           E      F#m
California, I'm coming for ya
    D           E      F#m   E D
California, I'm coming for ya-a
 
[Verse 2]
D                               E                  F#m
Look at that, I'm walking around like I just don't care
D                          E               F#m
Wildin' out, shaking it off shaking out my hair
D                            E                    F#m
I'm leanin' back, leaning so far I'm lyin' in the air
D                                E                      F#m
You're the man, and God it feels good just to say that, yeah
 
[Pre-Chorus]
D                 E            F#m
Like a dream, you glide on the water
D                 C#m            F#m
And like a star I shine from the shore
D                   E          F#m
Like the sun, can't get any hotter
Bm                       E              F#m
You're the one I want, I won't look anymore
 
[Chorus]
    D                   E                    F#m
California, land that I love I'm not turning back
    D                    E                  F#m
California, now that I'm home I'm not going back
    D           E      F#m
California, I'm coming for ya
    D           E      F#m   E D
California, I'm coming for ya-a
 
[Bridge]
Dm            A
He's my happy ending
Dm              A
Where the stars collide
Dm             A
Angels in the moonlight
Dm             A
Only you and I
 
[Chorus]
D                       E                     F#m
 California, land that I love I'm not turning back
    D                    E                  F#m
California, now that I'm home I'm not going back
    D             E        F#m
California, I'm coming for ya
    D             E      F#m E D
California, I'm coming for ya
 
[Outro]
D               E     F#m
Boy you look so fine, fine
D               C#m   F#m
Boy you look so fine, fine
D               E     F#m
Boy you look so fine, fine
 
Dm A
Dm A
              You don't ever have to be stronger than you really are
When you're lying in my arms, baby
You don't ever have to go faster than your fastest pace
Or faster than my fastest cars

I shouldn't have done it, but I read it in your letter
You said to a friend that you wish you were doing better
I wanted to reach out, but I never said a thing
I shouldn't have done it, but I read it in your letter
You said to a friend that you wish you were doing better
I wanted to call you, but I didn't say a thing
Two, three, four

Oh, I'll pick you up
If you come back to America, just hit me up
'Cause this is crazy love, I'll catch you on the flip side
If you come back to California, you should just hit me up
We'll do whatever you want, travel wherever how far
We'll hit up all the old places
We'll have a party, we'll dance 'til dawn
I'll pick up all of your Vogues and all of your Rolling Stones
Your favorite liquor off the top shelf
I'll throw a party all night long

You don't ever have to be stronger than you really are
When you're lying in my arms, and, honey
You don't ever have to act cooler than you think you should
You're brighter than the brightest stars

You're scared to win, scared to lose
I've heard the war was over if you really choose
The one in and around you
You hate the heat, you got the blues
Changing like the weather, oh, that's so like you
The Santa Ana moves you (two, three, four)

Oh, I'll pick you up
If you come back to America, just hit me up
'Cause this is crazy love, I'll catch you on the flip side
If you come back to California, you should just hit me up
We'll do whatever you want, travel wherever how far
We'll hit up all the old places
We'll have a party, we'll dance 'til dawn
I'll pick up all of your Vogues and all of your Rolling Stones
Your favorite liquor off the top shelf
I'll throw a party all night long

Oh, I'll pick you up
If you come back to America, just hit me up
'Cause this is crazy love, I'll catch you on the flip side
If you come back to California, you should just hit me up
