Intro
{Em, D, C, G} x 2
[Verse 1]
D#m C# B F#
Try'na set myself up for the win
(G) D#m C# B F#
So people got a dream that's so much bigger than the town they're in
(G) D#m C# B F#
So give me love, give me love, give me peace, give me peace of mind
(G) D#m C# B F#
I know that there's an ought to a start and I need a little help with mine
[Pre-Chorus]
(Palm muted, you'll hear it in the song)
D#m C# B F#
California, don't let me down
D#m C# B F#
Seems so golden, but there's struggle all around
D#m C# B F#
Sunset Jesus, came to me
D#m C# B F#
He once was waiter, now he's a savior making money on the street
(At this point, the chords change rhythm into D#m C# D#m B G,
but for simplicity's sake, I've kept them the same till the breaks)
[Chorus]
D#m C# B F#
My dreams are made of gold
D#m C# B F#
My heart's been broken and I'm down along the road
(G) D#m C# B F#
But I know, my dreams keep fading til I get old
D#m C# B F#
Breathe for a minute, breathe for a minute, I'll be okay
[Break]
(The break is thrice as long, so for acoustic purposes I've shortened it)

[Verse 3]
D#m C# B F#
Staring at the billboard from the bus
D#m C# B F#
Looking at the faces, thinking that could be anyone of us
D#m C# B F#
So give me hope, give me hope, give me hope on this lonely ride
D#m C# B F#
Cause I know one day, I will be the one in the sky
[Pre-Chorus]
(Palm muted)
N.C. D#m C#
California, don't let me down
