A E Back to where I belong Bm D A E California, California, baby I'm coming home Verse: Bm (just strum once) I need some fun vibes and a couple drops of sunshine D Good enough pick and choose the always over sometimes A Pour a little out we like to live a lot E And I make better decisions when I'm hot Bm We're chasing dreams from our seats at the hang out spot D No plan for the night, but we all stay locked A Right in, nice grin, uh uhhh no thunder or lightning E Just the view of the ocean and a sexy ass light skin girl Bm I'm goin back, I'm goin back D And I'm headed for my paradise, my paradise A E Where I can sit and right songs, eat a little food and we can share our lives Bm California got me thinking I should really take it easy D Out back with my crew and some girls if you need me A So when I say welcome home and you ask what do I mean *** no guitar *** I mean you visit and you never wanna leave Come find me Chorus: Bm D How do I get out of here? A E Back to where I belong Bm D A E California, California, baby I'm coming home Verse: Bm (just strum once) So sweet, so sweet Californ–I–a D Where the fruits all fall from my family tree A I need my skateboard a drink and a long stretch of pavement E Pickin up my pace and I'm back to the basics Bm Yeah, travel well on my element D A Gone for a second and every time I leave you know I'm always second guessing it E Thinking ill regret it but you know I'm comin back in the end and I've accepted it Bm D I'm feeling feeling all feeling all feeling all feeling all golden A We're skatin on the sidewalk E And you can hear us all hear us all hear us all rollin Bm It's so damn hot outside A And missed flights are the only things that stoppin me from tryin to kick it tropically D Cuz out here we don't just own the sun E Us California kids got a monopoly Lets go, come on Chorus: Bm D How do I get out of here? A E Back to where I belong Bm D A E California, California, baby I'm coming home *** At this point, the guitar stops playing *** I'm coming home I'm coming home Cuz I been gone for way too long I'm coming home I'm coming home Cuz I been gone for way too long *** At this point, guitar resumes, but Alex changes from barre chords to open chords of Bm, D, A, E) *** Bm And these Cali girls Cali girls Cali girls Cali girls D Are all just so damn fine A And these Cali girls Cali girls Cali girls Cali girls E Runnin through my mind Bm And these Cali girls Cali girls Cali girls Cali girls D Are all just so damn fine A And these Cali girls Cali girls Cali girls Cali girls E Runnin thru my mind
