[Verse 1]
A# F A7 Dm
A# F
Just out of reach is the gold you're rushing for
A7 Dm
With bags under your eyes
A# F
I've been chasing a rainbow, wound up at your door
A7 Dm
Wanna see the other side
[Pre-Chorus]
Gm A#
It's not quite like I imagined, like I did before
F
When you're pouring all your heart out
C
But you're lying on the floor
Gm7
All the cigarettes and hotels
A#
Could be what you're looking for
F
But it's not what you expected
C N.C.
And you're left wanting more
[Chorus]
A# F
Don't mind what anybody told ya
A7 Dm
It still gets cold in California
A# F
See, everybody thinks they know ya
A7 Dm
They're only seeing what they wanna
A# Gm Dm
Oh, don't mind what anybody told ya
G A# F
It still gets cold in California
[Verse 2]
A#
We can dance in the streets
F
With the sun upon our skin
A7 Dm
And wake up feeling burned
A#
Under stars, we can freeze
F
'Cause we've gotten used to heat
Am7 Dm
Where seasons never turn
[Pre-Chorus]
Gm A#
It's not quite like I imagined, like I did before
F
When you're pouring all your heart out
C
But you're lying on the floor
Gm7
All the cigarettes and hotels
A#
Could be what you're looking for
F
But it's not what you expected
C N.C.
And you're left wanting more
[Chorus]
A# F
Don't mind what anybody told ya
A7 Dm
It still gets cold in California
A# F
See, everybody thinks they know ya
A7 Dm
They're only seeing what they wanna
A# Gm Dm
Oh, don't mind what anybody told ya
G A# F
It still gets cold in California
[Bridge]
A# C
Talk about the pretty parts, the ones you see on film
Dm F
Happiness and skinny legs and living on a hill
A# C
Don't talk about the ugly parts, the loneliness you feel
Dm C Bm
You probably always will
[Chorus]
A# F G
'Cause it gets dark in California
A Dm C
I know it well, better than most, yeah
A# F
Don't mind what anybody told ya
A7 Dm
It still gets cold in California
A# F
See, everybody thinks they know ya
A Dm
They're only seeing what they wanna
A# Gm Dm
Oh, don't mind what anybody told ya
G A# F G A# F
It still gets cold in California
G Gm A
