Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Don't know

What I was looking for when I went home

 I found me alone

Sometimes

I need someone to say, "You'll be alright!"

 "What's on your mind?"

But the water's shallow here

 And I am full of fear

 And empty-handed after two long years

Chorus

Another sunny day in California

I'm sure back home they'd love to see it

But they don't know that what you love is ripped away

Before you get a chance to feel it

 Chord pattern: ---

Back home

I always thought I wanted so much more

Now I'm not too sure

`Cause sometimes

I miss knowing someone's there for me

And feeling free

 Chord Pattern: ---

Free to stand beside

The ocean in moonlight

And light myself a smoke beneath

The dark Atlantic sky

Everybody here is living life in fear of falling out of line

Tearing lives apart, breaking lots of hearts just to pass the time

And the eyes get red in the back of your head

This place will make you blind

 Put it all behind me and I'll be just fine.

 Same chord pattern: ---

Another sunny day beneath this cloudless sky

Sometimes I wish that it would rain here

And wash away the West Coast dreaming from my eyes

There's nothing real for them to see here

Another sunny day in California

I'm sure back home they'd love to see it

But they don't know that what you love is ripped away

Before you get a chance to feel it

Comments:

Basic chords.

Insanely simple.

Power chords make it sound much better.

Well, it works, either way.

The intro was "off!" ... I'll work on that.
