hm E A
Got on border west bound seven-forty-seven,
hm E A
Didn't think before decided what to do.
hm E
Oh, they talk of opertunity,
A f#m hm E A
TV-breaks and movies, rank through, sure and true.

hm E A
Seems it never rains in Southern California,
hm E A
Seems I've often heard that kind of talk before.
hm E A f#m
It never rains in California, but girl, don't they warn you
hm E A
it warms, man it warms

E E
Out of work, I'm out of my head,
A
Out of self respect, I'm out of breath.
hm E A
I'm on the run down on the fair, I wanna go home.

hm E A f#m
It never rains in California, but girl, don't they warn you
hm E A
it warms, man it warms

hm E A
Will you tell the folks back home, I nearly made it,
hm E A
Eight offers, but don't know which one to take.
hm E
Please don't tell'em how you found me,
A f#m
Don't tell'em how you found me.
hm E A
Gimme a breath, gimme a breath.

hm E A
Seems it never rains in Southern California,
hm E A
Seems I've often heard that kind of talk before.
hm E A f#m
It never rains in California, but girl, don't they warn you
hm E A
it warms, man it warms
