Am D G Got on board a west bound 747 Am D G Didn't think before decidin' what to do Am D G Em All that talk of opportunity, TV breaks and movies Am D G Ring true, sure rang true [Chorus] Am D G Seems it never rains in southern California Am D G Seems I've often heard that kind of talk before Am D It never rains in California G Em But girl, don't they warn ya Am D G But it pours, man it pours [Verse 2] Am D I'm outta work, I'm outta my head G Outta self-respect, I'm outta bread Am D I'm underloved and underfed G I wanna go home [Chorus] Am D It never rains in California G Em But girl, don't they warn ya Am D G But it pours, man it pours [Solo] Am D G x2 [Verse 3] Am D G Will ya tell the folks back home, I nearly made it? Am D G Had offers, but don't know which one to take Am D Please don't tell 'em how you found me G Em And don't tell 'em how you found me Am D G Gimme a break, give me a break [Chorus] Am D G Seems it never rains in southern California Am D G Seems I've often heard that kind of talk before Am D It never rains in California G Em But girl, don't they warn ya Am D G But it pours, man it pours [Outro] Am D G x4 (fade out)
