California dreamer
D        C          Em
Tell me why did you go?
D              C     B      Em
I carved your ever fading figure
D         C     B    Em
Into the ever dying snow

Where all the other young lovers are
 found

       Em              D          
And I think I mighta heard you on 
    C  G

D               C              Em
And you were dreaming of Los Angeles
D              C               Em
While I was singing songs you wrote
D            C    B         Em
You quietly gave away the winter 
clothes I made for you
      D        C    B       Em
While I made angels in the snow

Am            G#aug            Em
I would have left if you just asked 
me to
Am         G#aug           Em

Or come to me before the preacher
Am              Ab
Now you're a survivor

And I just thought I mighta heard 
           C  G
you on the radio
         Am    B               Em
But the radio waves were like snow

I thought I mighta heard you on 
  C  G
the radio
         Am    B               Em

        Am          Em
Do the young stay pretty?
        B            C
Do the pretty stay quick?
     G             Am      C
You know, but you never surrender
                  Em D      
The city doesn't belong to you

anymore

You dream of seasons that never die

You go to oceans that never touch

I surrender, the city to slender

Creatures getting younger and
