Intro: Bm--A-D-G--D--G, Bm--A-D-G--G-D/F#-D
Verse 1:
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?"
Refrain 1:
But the water's shallow here
And I am full of fear
And empty-handed
after two long years
Chorus 1:
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
Interlude: Bm--A-D-G--G-D/F#-D
Verse 2:
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
Refrain 2:
Free to stand beside
The ocean in moonlight
And light myself
a smoke beneath
The dark Atlantic sky
Chorus 2:
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 before you
get a chance to feel it
Bridge:
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
Chorus 3:
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
Chorus 4:
Another sunny night
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 before you
get a chance to feel it
Outro: Bm--A-D-G--G-D/F#-D
