Intro.: |(C) |(C) |(G/B) |(G/B) |(Am) |(Am) |(Am) |(G/B)
(Verse 1)
I want my name in the (C)lights, I wanna swim in the (G/B)sky
Be the only (Am)star at midnight (G/B)
Before I knew it I was (C)lost, I didn't count all the (G)costs
Now I wonder if I'll (Am)ever even make it out a-(Em7)live
(Chorus)
I've been (F)chasing (C)dreams, but they're (G) chasing me
In this (Am)city of angels, (C) I can't (Em7)sleep
'Cause I'm (F)trading scars for that (Am)concrete star
And I (G)can't find the sunshine in --- California

(Verse 2)
I only wanted to be (C)me, I had the best in-(G)tentions
I was scattered in (Am)all directions (G/B)
It was more (C)than I could take, I would bend just to (G)break
Falling apart wasn't (Am)ever my plan, but now I under-(Em7)stand ---
(Chorus)
I've been (F)chasing (C)dreams, but they're (G) chasing me
In this (Am)city of angels, (C) I can't (Em7)sleep
'Cause I'm (F)trading scars for that (Am)concrete star
And I (G)can't --- find the sunshine in --- California
