[Verse 1]
C# D#m
No I don't think it's odd to stand before god
G#7 Gb C#
And solemnly swear when there's love in the air
C# D#m
And I don't think it's weird when the one thing you fear
G#7 Gb C# C#m7
Is losing the one thing that's holding you dear
[Chorus]
Gb G#7
Well I don't think it's strange, I don't think it's insane
D#
It turns the world around
G#7
While the birds keep singing, and the bells keep ringin',
And the heart keeps bringin' you home
C# Gb C#
To California, where the warm sun shines
Gb C#
California, hear the windblown chimes
/D D#m G#7 C#
Californ-i-a, though you're far away, your love is here today
C# /A# /Cb /C
[Verse 2]
C# D#m
True love in you heart, like a flame in the dark
G#7 Gb C#
May you have, may you hold, 'til death do you part
C# D#m
'Cause two of a kind, it ain't easy to find
G#7 Gb C# C#m7
Comin' out of the blue, being lead by the blind
[Chorus]
Gb G#7
It don't take much to see that what's meant to be
D#
Is right in front of me
G#7
And the birds keep singing, and the bells keep ringin',
And the heart keeps bringin' you home
C# Gb C#
To California, where the warm sun shines
Gb C#
California, hear the windblown chimes
/D D#m G#7 C#
Californ-i-a, though you're far away, your love is here today

We're sittin' on a real celebration

Thank heavens what a fine situation

Shoot the cannon, blow the horn
