[[CHORDS]]

D                                   G
   You've felt alone since you were only seven

D                            A
   Your mother didn't have a clue what to do

Bm                                G
   You cried each night until you were eleven

Bm                                      A
   You prayed that God would bring your daddy back to you


[CHORUS]

D                             G
   This summer's taking me to California

D                           A
   But I won't go until you know that what I say is true

Bm                             G
   When everything you've ever loved has left you

   Bm                  A
   I'll be there, yeah I'll be there for you


[BRIDGE]

              Bm    A   G
I don't wanna leave you lonely

             D        A
I just wanna be right there

            Bm    A G
Even if you don't believe me

              D              A-Bb-Ab-G-F#
I will try to make it clear
