California chords by Miranda Lambert

Intro: Cadd9 D

Verso 1:
G       Cadd9    D
Met him on the edge of a goodbye
G             Cadd9     D
I was standing there with nowhere left to fly
C        D
I was young but ever grim
G        D   Cadd9
A little wiser than my time had seen
Am                   G
You told me about the places we could hide

G         Cadd9      D
Wild and kinda crazy most of the time
G         Cadd9      D
My heart was hangin' on his every line
C        D
I'd memorize his every thought
  G     D      Cadd9
But the walls he had could never be brought down
Am        G
And now he's not around
Am                 D
I guess I'm just a face left in the crowd

Cadd9   D
Oh, California
G      Cadd9  G D
Please come back to me
Cadd9   D
Oh, California
G     Cadd9  Am
You're who I wanna be
Cadd9  D   G
Live inside of me

Verso 2:
G        Cadd9      D
A vivid picture plays inside my head
G            Cadd9    D
Of things you swore we'd never do again
C         D
Then he put on that LA face
   G    D   Cadd9
And he left me with a bittersweet taste of life
Am              D
And that's enough to keep me alive


Cadd9   D
Oh, California
G      Cadd9  G D
Please come back to me
Cadd9   D
Oh, California
G     Cadd9  Am
You're who I wanna be
Cadd9  D   G
Live inside of me

Ponte:
Bm         D        Cadd9    G
I know you're lyin' somewhere in the arms of destiny
Bm           D
Your memory, it still lingers here
     Cadd9     D
And I'll never set it free, Ohhh (continues into Chorus)--


Cadd9      D
--Ohhhh, (California)
G      Cadd9  G D
Please come back to me
Cadd9   D
Oh, California
G     Cadd9  Am
You're who I wanna be
Cadd9  D   Am
Live inside of me
Cadd9  D   G
Live inside of me
