[Verse 1]
G D F#7 Bm
G D
Just out of reach is the gold you're rushing for
F#7 Bm
With bags under your eyes
G D
I've been chasing a rainbow, wound up at your door
F#7 Bm
Wanna see the other side
[Pre-Chorus]
Em G
It's not quite like I imagined, like I did before
D
When you're pouring all your heart out
A
But you're lying on the floor
Em7
All the cigarettes and hotels
G
Could be what you're looking for
D
But it's not what you expected
A N.C.
And you're left wanting more
[Chorus]
G D
Don't mind what anybody told ya
F#7 Bm
It still gets cold in California
G D
See, everybody thinks they know ya
F#7 Bm
They're only seeing what they wanna
G Em Bm
Oh, don't mind what anybody told ya
E G D
It still gets cold in California
[Verse 2]
G
We can dance in the streets
D
With the sun upon our skin
F#7 Bm
And wake up feeling burned
G
Under stars, we can freeze
D
'Cause we've gotten used to heat
F#m7 Bm
Where seasons never turn
[Pre-Chorus]
Em G
It's not quite like I imagined, like I did before
D
When you're pouring all your heart out
A
But you're lying on the floor
Em7
All the cigarettes and hotels
G
Could be what you're looking for
D
But it's not what you expected
A N.C.
And you're left wanting more
[Chorus]
G D
Don't mind what anybody told ya
F#7 Bm
It still gets cold in California
G D
See, everybody thinks they know ya
F#7 Bm
They're only seeing what they wanna
G Em Bm
Oh, don't mind what anybody told ya
E G D
It still gets cold in California
[Bridge]
G A
Talk about the pretty parts, the ones you see on film
Bm D
Happiness and skinny legs and living on a hill
G A
Don't talk about the ugly parts, the loneliness you feel
Bm A G#m
You probably always will
[Chorus]
G D E
'Cause it gets dark in California
F# Bm A
I know it well, better than most, yeah
G D
Don't mind what anybody told ya
F#7 Bm
It still gets cold in California
G D
See, everybody thinks they know ya
F# Bm
They're only seeing what they wanna
G Em Bm
Oh, don't mind what anybody told ya
E G D E G D
It still gets cold in California
E Em A
