Capo 3rd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

 Theyre playin guitars with stars in their eyes on Broadway

 Theyre just paying their dues and waitin for news on a big break

 I wish you were here

 Cuz sometimes I get lonely

Guess Im not the only new girl in town

Momma I promise Ill be alright

 Ill call to say I love you every night

 Im just tryin to write the story of my life

You know all about this dream I gotta chase

 I get a little closer everyday

 Californias not that far away

 Im not that far away

 Theres so many new faces and beautiful places in this town

 Im learnin the ropes on this crazy road Im goin down

 Im makin my way

 No one said that itd be easy

Trust me believe me

 Im where I belong

Momma I promise Ill be alright

 Ill call to say I love you every night

 Im just tryin to write the story of my life

You know all about this dream I gotta chase

 I get a little closer everyday

 Californias not that far away

 Im not that far away

Were miles apa-art

 But youre in my hea-art

 I keep you with me everywhere I go

Momma I promise Ill be alright

 Ill call to say I love you every night

 Im just tryin to write the story of my life

You know all about this dream I gotta chase

 I get a little closer everyday

 Californias not that far away

 Im not that far away
