D A C#7 F#m

D                        A
Just out of reach is the gold you're rushing for
     C#7             F#m
With bags under your eyes
D                            A
I've been chasing a rainbow, wound up at your door
      C#7           F#m
Wanna see the other side


[Pre-Chorus]
         Bm                     D
It's not quite like I imagined, like I did before
            A
When you're pouring all your heart out
           E
But you're lying on the floor
        Bm7
All the cigarettes and hotels
         D
Could be what you're looking for
         A
But it's not what you expected
    E           N.C.
And you're left wanting more


[Chorus]
D                       A
Don't mind what anybody told ya
C#7                        F#m
It still gets cold in California
D                          A
See, everybody thinks they know ya
C#7                           F#m
They're only seeing what they wanna
D   Bm                      F#m
Oh, don't mind what anybody told ya
B             D            A
It still gets cold in California


[Verse 2]
D
We can dance in the streets
         A
With the sun upon our skin
    C#7             F#m
And wake up feeling burned
      D
Under stars, we can freeze
             A
'Cause we've gotten used to heat
      C#m7           F#m
Where seasons never turn


[Pre-Chorus]
         Bm                     D
It's not quite like I imagined, like I did before
            A
When you're pouring all your heart out
           E
But you're lying on the floor
        Bm7
All the cigarettes and hotels
         D
Could be what you're looking for
         A
But it's not what you expected
    E           N.C.
And you're left wanting more


[Chorus]
D                       A
Don't mind what anybody told ya
C#7                        F#m
It still gets cold in California
D                          A
See, everybody thinks they know ya
C#7                           F#m
They're only seeing what they wanna
D   Bm                      F#m
Oh, don't mind what anybody told ya
B                     D      A
It still gets cold in California


[Bridge]
D                                E
Talk about the pretty parts, the ones you see on film
F#m                           A
Happiness and skinny legs and living on a hill
D                                E
Don't talk about the ugly parts, the loneliness you feel
F#m          E      D#m
You probably always will


[Chorus]
D                          A      B
'Cause it gets dark in California
C#                          F#m        E
I know it well, better than most, yeah
D                            A
Don't mind what anybody told ya
C#7                       F#m
It still gets cold in California
D                          A
See, everybody thinks they know ya
C#                            F#m
They're only seeing what they wanna
D   Bm                      F#m
Oh, don't mind what anybody told ya
B             D       A      B D A
It still gets cold in California
