[Verse 1]
F# A#m G#m C#7
I thought me and my sweet baby really had it going on
F# A#dim G#m C#7
I thought that we were happy and our love was true and strong
C#m7 F#7 B E9
And the old farmhouse, the picket fence, a horse, a dog, and cat
D#m7 D C#
Family and friendship give a shirt right off their backs
[Verse 2]
F# A#m G#m C#7
So naturally I was surprised when out of the blue
F# A#dim G#m C#7
She said she was going to Hollywood to make her dreams come true
C#m7 F#7 B E9
Won’t it hurt to be happy and I follow her anywhere
D#m7 D C# F#
But I’m just an old country boy, what would I do out there?
[Chorus 1]
Bm F#
In California
Bm F#
Land of Kardashians, glitz and movie stars
Bm F#
California
Bm A G F# C#aug
Girl you might as well take a rocket ship to Mars
[Solo]

[Verse 3]
F# A#m G#m C#7
Well I wasn’t going to let her live in Tinseltown alone
F# A#dim G#m C#7
And I figured she’d get her fill quick then want to come back home
C#m7 F#7 B E9
So I sucked it up and tried not to let on I was lost and bored
D#m7 G#m C# F#
Ironically I could have won that Academy Award
[Chorus 2]
Bm F#
In California
Bm F#
She loves your sunny weather, fancy shops, and sushi bars
Bm F#
California
Bm A G F# C#aug
Girl you might as well take a rocket ship to Mars
[Verse 4]
F# A#m G#m C#7
Man, I sorely missed our civil life in Tennessee
F# A#dim G#m C#7
Sure L.A. was really nice but I never felt like me
C#m7 F#7 B E9
Lots of people everywhere but I still felt alone
D#m7 G#m C# F#
So I told her that I wished her well but I was going home
[ Chorus 3]
Bm F#
Goodbye to California
Bm F#
You’ll need your mansion surfer dudes or Maserati cars
Bm F#
California
Bm A G F#
Girl you might as well take a rocket ship to Mars

[Spoken]
F# A#m G#m C#
F# whole year went by slowly since she’d left me for the coast
F# A#m G#m
She’d call once in while or send a card with a little note
C# F# A#m
I thought she was embarrassed, cause she’d probably gone bust
G#m C#
And was sure she’d come home and we’d get back to being us
F# A#m G#m C#
She’d come to her senses, get her head out of the clouds
F# A#dim G#m C#
And I’d say: “You gave it your best shot, and for that you should be proud!”
C#m7 F#7 B E9
‘Till one night I got in bed and turned the TV on down low
D#m7 G#m C# F#
And I’ll be danged if it wasn’t her in a brand new reality show, filmed in
[Chorus 4]
Bm F#
California
Bm F#
I should have believed who she was and she would take
Bm F#
California
Bm A G (Chromatic line: F# F F# G G# A A# D)
Take care of my baby keep her wishing on a star
Bm F# Bm F#
California
Bm F#
California
