Intro
{Em, D, C, G} x 2
[Verse 1]
Dm C A# F
Try'na set myself up for the win
(G) Dm C A# F
So people got a dream that's so much bigger than the town they're in
(G) Dm C A# F
So give me love, give me love, give me peace, give me peace of mind
(G) Dm C A# 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)
Dm C A# F
California, don't let me down
Dm C A# F
Seems so golden, but there's struggle all around
Dm C A# F
Sunset Jesus, came to me
Dm C A# F
He once was waiter, now he's a savior making money on the street
(At this point, the chords change rhythm into Dm C Dm A# G,
but for simplicity's sake, I've kept them the same till the breaks)
[Chorus]
Dm C A# F
My dreams are made of gold
Dm C A# F
My heart's been broken and I'm down along the road
(G) Dm C A# F
But I know, my dreams keep fading til I get old
Dm C A# 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)
{Em, D, Em, C, G} x 4
[Verse 3]
Dm C A# F
Staring at the billboard from the bus
Dm C A# F
Looking at the faces, thinking that could be anyone of us
Dm C A# F
So give me hope, give me hope, give me hope on this lonely ride
Dm C A# F
Cause I know one day, I will be the one in the sky
[Pre-Chorus]
(Palm muted)
