[Verse 1]
A Bm
No I don't think it's odd to stand before god
E7 D A
And solemnly swear when there's love in the air
A Bm
And I don't think it's weird when the one thing you fear
E7 D A Am7
Is losing the one thing that's holding you dear
[Chorus]
D E7
Well I don't think it's strange, I don't think it's insane
B
It turns the world around
E7
While the birds keep singing, and the bells keep ringin',
And the heart keeps bringin' you home
A D A
To California, where the warm sun shines
D A
California, hear the windblown chimes
/A# Bm E7 A
Californ-i-a, though you're far away, your love is here today
A /F# /G /G#
[Verse 2]
A Bm
True love in you heart, like a flame in the dark
E7 D A
May you have, may you hold, 'til death do you part
A Bm
'Cause two of a kind, it ain't easy to find
E7 D A Am7
Comin' out of the blue, being lead by the blind
[Chorus]
D E7
It don't take much to see that what's meant to be
B
Is right in front of me
E7
And the birds keep singing, and the bells keep ringin',
And the heart keeps bringin' you home
A D A
To California, where the warm sun shines
D A
California, hear the windblown chimes
/A# Bm E7 A
Californ-i-a, though you're far away, your love is here today
