[Verse 1]
E B D#7 G#m
E B
Just out of reach is the gold you're rushing for
D#7 G#m
With bags under your eyes
E B
I've been chasing a rainbow, wound up at your door
D#7 G#m
Wanna see the other side
[Pre-Chorus]
C#m E
It's not quite like I imagined, like I did before
B
When you're pouring all your heart out
F#
But you're lying on the floor
C#m7
All the cigarettes and hotels
E
Could be what you're looking for
B
But it's not what you expected
F# N.C.
And you're left wanting more
[Chorus]
E B
Don't mind what anybody told ya
D#7 G#m
It still gets cold in California
E B
See, everybody thinks they know ya
D#7 G#m
They're only seeing what they wanna
E C#m G#m
Oh, don't mind what anybody told ya
C# E B
It still gets cold in California
[Verse 2]
E
We can dance in the streets
B
With the sun upon our skin
D#7 G#m
And wake up feeling burned
E
Under stars, we can freeze
B
'Cause we've gotten used to heat
D#m7 G#m
Where seasons never turn
[Pre-Chorus]
C#m E
It's not quite like I imagined, like I did before
B
When you're pouring all your heart out
F#
But you're lying on the floor
C#m7
All the cigarettes and hotels
E
Could be what you're looking for
B
But it's not what you expected
F# N.C.
And you're left wanting more
[Chorus]
E B
Don't mind what anybody told ya
D#7 G#m
It still gets cold in California
E B
See, everybody thinks they know ya
D#7 G#m
They're only seeing what they wanna
E C#m G#m
Oh, don't mind what anybody told ya
C# E B
It still gets cold in California
[Bridge]
E F#
Talk about the pretty parts, the ones you see on film
G#m B
Happiness and skinny legs and living on a hill
E F#
Don't talk about the ugly parts, the loneliness you feel
G#m F# Fm
You probably always will
[Chorus]
E B C#
'Cause it gets dark in California
D# G#m F#
I know it well, better than most, yeah
E B
Don't mind what anybody told ya
D#7 G#m
It still gets cold in California
E B
See, everybody thinks they know ya
D# G#m
They're only seeing what they wanna
E C#m G#m
Oh, don't mind what anybody told ya
C# E B C# E B
It still gets cold in California
C# C#m A
