[Verse 1]
D# Gm Fm A#7
I thought me and my sweet baby really had it going on
D# A#dim Fm A#7
I thought that we were happy and our love was true and strong
A#m7 D#7 G# C#9
And the old farmhouse, the picket fence, a horse, a dog, and cat
Cm7 B A#
Family and friendship give a shirt right off their backs
[Verse 2]
D# Gm Fm A#7
So naturally I was surprised when out of the blue
D# A#dim Fm A#7
She said she was going to Hollywood to make her dreams come true
A#m7 D#7 G# C#9
Won’t it hurt to be happy and I follow her anywhere
Cm7 B A# D#
But I’m just an old country boy, what would I do out there?
[Chorus 1]
G#m D#
In California
G#m D#
Land of Kardashians, glitz and movie stars
G#m D#
California
G#m F# E D# A#aug
Girl you might as well take a rocket ship to Mars

[Verse 3]
D# Gm Fm A#7
Well I wasn’t going to let her live in Tinseltown alone
D# A#dim Fm A#7
And I figured she’d get her fill quick then want to come back home
A#m7 D#7 G# C#9
So I sucked it up and tried not to let on I was lost and bored
Cm7 Fm A# D#
Ironically I could have won that Academy Award
[Chorus 2]
G#m D#
In California
G#m D#
She loves your sunny weather, fancy shops, and sushi bars
G#m D#
California
G#m F# E D# A#aug
Girl you might as well take a rocket ship to Mars
[Verse 4]
D# Gm Fm A#7
Man, I sorely missed our civil life in Tennessee
D# A#dim Fm A#7
Sure L.A. was really nice but I never felt like me
A#m7 D#7 G# C#9
Lots of people everywhere but I still felt alone
Cm7 Fm A# D#
So I told her that I wished her well but I was going home
[ Chorus 3]
G#m D#
Goodbye to California
G#m D#
You’ll need your mansion surfer dudes or Maserati cars
G#m D#
California
G#m F# E D#
Girl you might as well take a rocket ship to Mars

[Spoken]
D# Gm Fm A#
D# whole year went by slowly since she’d left me for the coast
D# Gm Fm
She’d call once in while or send a card with a little note
A# D# Gm
I thought she was embarrassed, cause she’d probably gone bust
Fm A#
And was sure she’d come home and we’d get back to being us
D# Gm Fm A#
She’d come to her senses, get her head out of the clouds
D# A#dim Fm A#
And I’d say: “You gave it your best shot, and for that you should be proud!”
A#m7 D#7 G# C#9
‘Till one night I got in bed and turned the TV on down low
Cm7 Fm A# D#
And I’ll be danged if it wasn’t her in a brand new reality show, filmed in
[Chorus 4]
G#m D#
California
G#m D#
I should have believed who she was and she would take
G#m D#
California
G#m F# E (Chromatic line: D# D D# E F F# G D)
Take care of my baby keep her wishing on a star
G#m D# G#m D#
California
G#m D#
California
