[Verse 1]
B C#m
No I don't think it's odd to stand before god
F#7 Fb B
And solemnly swear when there's love in the air
B C#m
And I don't think it's weird when the one thing you fear
F#7 Fb B Bm7
Is losing the one thing that's holding you dear
[Chorus]
Fb F#7
Well I don't think it's strange, I don't think it's insane
C#
It turns the world around
F#7
While the birds keep singing, and the bells keep ringin',
And the heart keeps bringin' you home
B Fb B
To California, where the warm sun shines
Fb B
California, hear the windblown chimes

Californ-i-a, though you're far away, your love is here today

True love in you heart, like a flame in the dark

May you have, may you hold, 'til death do you part
B C#m
'Cause two of a kind, it ain't easy to find
F#7 Fb B Bm7
Comin' out of the blue, being lead by the blind
[Chorus]
Fb F#7
It don't take much to see that what's meant to be
C#
Is right in front of me

And the birds keep singing, and the bells keep ringin',
And the heart keeps bringin' you home
