It's simpler and still sounds pretty good.


[Verse 1]
    G       C      G
California, golden morning
C     Em                            C
I can feel it in the silence of the room
       G       C       G        C        Em
On the carpet, shadows creep in from the window
                     C
It's a room without a view
         G         C       G
Just the creeping, endless traffic
C          Em                     C
Stretching off into a wash of hazy blue
      G         C       G
On my mattress, killing hours
C      Em           C       G   C G
Trying not to call you, yeah

[Verse 2]
        G        C     G
All the vampires of the valley
Continues after the ad
    C        Em                              C
Are cracking jokes and blowing smoke like cigarettes
            G       C      G
While their mothers in the suburbs
    C      Em                            C
Are taking pills with wine and trying to forget
            G       C     G
And rows of houses, empty windows
C        Em                           C
Lit with silent signs of life in the TV
          G       C    G
While the water's disappearing
C        Em                C
Down the cracks in the concrete

[Chorus]
           C              G         Em          D
And if you look, you will see I got blood on my sleeve
          C      G             Em         D
And I can be anything that you want me to be
       C      G      D
In California,

California
                   C      G   D
I'm tearing at the seams, oh, oh
                   C      G   D
I'm tearing at the seams, oh, oh

I'm tearing at the seams,           oh,        oh
                    (Don't make me make up my mind, I'm running out of time)
