Intro.:  (D) x 4 bars

They're (D)playin' guitars with stars an' their eyes on Broadway

I wish you were (Bm)here, 'cuz (F#m)sometimes I get lonely
(G)Guess I'm not the only new girl in town

(Chorus)
(G) Momma I (D)promise I'll be al-(A)right
I'll call to say I (Bm)love you every (G)night
I'm just tryin' to write the (D)story my (A)life
(G) You know all about this (D)dream I gotta (A)chase
I get a little (Bm)closer every-(G)day
California is (D)not that far a-(A)way, (Em) (A) I'm not that far away

Inst.:  (D) x 4

So (D)many new faces and beautiful places in this town
I'm learnin' the ropes on this crazy road I'm (G)goin' down
I'm makin' my (Bm)way, no one (F#m)said that it'd be easy
(G)Trust me believe me, I'm where I belong

(Choru)
(G) Momma I (D)promise I'll be al-(A)right
I'll call to say I (Bm)love you every (G)night

We're miles apart, (Bm) but you're in my heart (G)
I keep you with me (A)everywhere I go
