From California

G C D Em C

     G                                 C
Uncommon amount of the time at home, hardly a word on the telephone.
 D                            Em  C
Finally find the time to get to know you.
         G
Still mapping it out like a master plan,
                 C
something to do with my idle hands.
                D               Em   C
Write you a letter addressed from California.

     G
It's vivid and strong in my memory,
       C
an absence that smacks of abandoning.

   D                                 Em         C
It let to the battle that ultimately destroyed us.
       G
I'm nothing if I don't know your mistakes,
        C
the pill is as bitter as I can take.
    D                                    Em   C
It twists like a blade when I leave for California.

La da la la da da

    G
I hope that you know this is killing me,
     C
it's all in the name of the family.
       D                            Em   C
We only can play the cards the dealer dealt us.
     G                                    C
The end of the cycle is closing in, with you I see new hope begin again.
      D                               Em  C
There suddenly seems to be promise in California.

G                       F
As heavy as all this is weighing me,
  Em                      D
believe in the words I am promising.
 C  B     A         G
I'm still here for her.
  G                    F
The distance is only an obstacle,
  Em                 D
hardly a match for a miracle.
  C   B     A                 G
I'm finally ready to go to California.
