Intro
C G Am F 2x

             C
Sun comes through the shade,
 G
lands on the ceiling,
    Am
it ends down the wall,
F
where you're sleeping.


                    C
And I'm trying to memorize
               G                  Am
your every morning movements,
             F
the roll and rise of you.

C     G     Am

              C
But it's too late to run,
              G
when you're caught in the snare,
          Am
and I'm tangled in the barbed wire,
F
all around your bed.

                   c
Now, honey, I'll never learn,
             G
it takes me so long,
         Am
when I finally fall, you know,
          F
they're always gone.

       C
Early morning haze,
G
packing the car,
Am                            
what to bring and what to leave 
   F
behind, love.

                   C
Well you've got a car full of 
clothes,
                  G
you've got your Steinbeck novels,
                  Am
you've got your wine glasses,
                 F
you've got your summer sandals.

                  C
You've got your sunglasses,
        G
you're ready to go
         Am
to the gold state,
      F
the gold coast.

             C
Sun comes through the shade,
G
lands on the ceiling,
         Am
it came ninety-three million miles
F
just to be here.

            C
Maybe it's not so far
            G
maybe it's not so far
           Am
maybe it's not so far
      F
to California.
