[Verse 1]
C# Fm D#m G#7
I thought me and my sweet baby really had it going on
C# A#dim D#m G#7
I thought that we were happy and our love was true and strong
G#m7 C#7 F# B9
And the old farmhouse, the picket fence, a horse, a dog, and cat
A#m7 A G#
Family and friendship give a shirt right off their backs
[Verse 2]
C# Fm D#m G#7
So naturally I was surprised when out of the blue
C# A#dim D#m G#7
She said she was going to Hollywood to make her dreams come true
G#m7 C#7 F# B9
Won’t it hurt to be happy and I follow her anywhere
A#m7 A G# C#
But I’m just an old country boy, what would I do out there?
[Chorus 1]
F#m C#
In California
F#m C#
Land of Kardashians, glitz and movie stars
F#m C#
California
F#m E D C# G#aug
Girl you might as well take a rocket ship to Mars

[Verse 3]
C# Fm D#m G#7
Well I wasn’t going to let her live in Tinseltown alone
C# A#dim D#m G#7
And I figured she’d get her fill quick then want to come back home
G#m7 C#7 F# B9
So I sucked it up and tried not to let on I was lost and bored
A#m7 D#m G# C#
Ironically I could have won that Academy Award
[Chorus 2]
F#m C#
In California
F#m C#
She loves your sunny weather, fancy shops, and sushi bars
F#m C#
California
F#m E D C# G#aug
Girl you might as well take a rocket ship to Mars
[Verse 4]
C# Fm D#m G#7
Man, I sorely missed our civil life in Tennessee
C# A#dim D#m G#7
Sure L.A. was really nice but I never felt like me
G#m7 C#7 F# B9
Lots of people everywhere but I still felt alone
A#m7 D#m G# C#
So I told her that I wished her well but I was going home
[ Chorus 3]
F#m C#
Goodbye to California
F#m C#
You’ll need your mansion surfer dudes or Maserati cars
F#m C#
California
F#m E D C#
Girl you might as well take a rocket ship to Mars

[Spoken]
C# Fm D#m G#
C# whole year went by slowly since she’d left me for the coast
C# Fm D#m
She’d call once in while or send a card with a little note
G# C# Fm
I thought she was embarrassed, cause she’d probably gone bust
D#m G#
And was sure she’d come home and we’d get back to being us
C# Fm D#m G#
She’d come to her senses, get her head out of the clouds
C# A#dim D#m G#
And I’d say: “You gave it your best shot, and for that you should be proud!”
G#m7 C#7 F# B9
‘Till one night I got in bed and turned the TV on down low
A#m7 D#m G# C#
And I’ll be danged if it wasn’t her in a brand new reality show, filmed in
[Chorus 4]
F#m C#
California
F#m C#
I should have believed who she was and she would take
F#m C#
California
F#m E D (Chromatic line: C# C C# D D# E F D)
Take care of my baby keep her wishing on a star
F#m C# F#m C#
California
