It's a 3 (A) day drive, if she drives (Bm) all night, say's she's (D)leavinf at the crack of dawn (A)
Well she might still be lyin' here (Bm) with me, but in her (D)heart she's already gone (A)
Already packed up, the altima's gassed (Bm) up, she's done put the map (D) up there on the dash (A)
I'm all tore up just tryin' to (Bm)man up, dammin' these (D)tears up but can't hold eem back (A)

(Chorus)
eCuz she's in love (A) with California and that west (Bm) coast sunshine dream
These ain't no Hol-(D)-ly Woods and these hills ain't (E)Beverly (A)(D)(A)
There ain't no beaches on these backroads, no sunset (Bm) on the boulevard
She's in love (D) with Califor-(E)nia and breakin' my heart (A)(D)(A)

Got a (A)waitress job waitin' in (Bm) an ihop, throw a rock (D) and hit universal cit-(A)y
Got a glamour shot in (Bm)her hip pocket, hopin' (D)somebody'll think she's (A)pretty
By this time tomorrow she'll hit Colo-(Bm)rado, I'll be drownin' my sor-(D)row in a bottle of beam (A)
Before she hits flagstaff maybe she'll (Bm)backtrack, but I wouldn't bet (D) that if I was me (A)

(Chorus)
eCuz she's in love (A) with California and that west (Bm) coast sunshine dream
These ain't no Hol-(D)-ly Woods and these hills ain't (E)Beverly (A)(D)(A)
There ain't no beaches on these backroads, no sunset (Bm) on the boulevard
She's in love (D) with Califor-(E)-nia and breakin' my heart (A)(D)(A)

(Bridge)
She was all (Bm) mine, now it's go (D) time - - -

(Chorus)
eCuz she's in love (A) with California and that west (Bm) coast sunshine dream
These ain't no Hol-(D)-ly Woods and these hills ain't (E)Beverly (A)(D)(A) - - -
There ain't no  (A)beaches on these backroads, no sunset (Bm) on the boulevard
She's in love (D) with Califor-(E)-nia and breakin' my heart (A)(D)(A)

(Tag)
eCus she's in love (Bm) with Califor-(D)-nia - - - and breakin' my heart (A)(D)(A)
Oh, she's breakin' my heart (A)(D)(A) - - - - -
