Verse 1:
D
  Don't know
A/C#
  What I was looking for
     G
when I went home
I found me alone
D
  Sometimes
A/C#
  I need someone to 
            G
say "You'll be alright!"
"What's on your mind?"


Refrain 1:
A                         G
  But the water's shallow here
                 A
And I am full of fear
And empty-handed 
G
after two long years


Chorus 1:
D
  Another sunny day
   G
in California
D
  I'm sure back home 
               G
they'd love to see it
A
  But they don't know that
         C
what you love is ripped away
A/C#
  Before you get a 
          G
chance to feel it


Interlude: Bm--A-D-G--G-D/F#-D


Verse 2:
D
  Back home
A/C#
  I always thought I 
       G
wanted so much more
Now I'm not too sure
D
  Cause sometimes
A/C#
  I miss knowing someone's
G
there for me
And feeling free


Refrain 2:
A                 G
  Free to stand beside
                 D/F#
The ocean in moonlight
And light myself
   G
a smoke beneath
The dark Atlantic sky


Chorus 2:
D
  Another sunny day
   G
in California
D
  I'm sure back home 
               G
they'd love to see it
A
  But they don't know that
         C
what you love is ripped away
A/C#
  Before you get a 
      G
chance before you
                D      D
get a chance to feel it


Bridge:
Bm          A
  Everybody here is living life 
   G                      F#m
in fear of falling out of line
Bm               D
  Tearing lives apart breaking lots
   G                       F#m
of hearts just to pass the time
Bm                 D
  And the eyes get red 
                    G
in the back of your head
                     F#m
This place will make you blind
Bm             D
  Put it all behind me 
         G  D/F# D
and I'll be just fine


Chorus 3:
D                     G
  Another sunny day beneath 
this cloudless sky
D
  Sometimes I wish that
         G
it would rain here
A
  And wash away the West Coast
G
dreaming from my eyes
A/C#
  There's nothing real 
            G
for them to see here


Chorus 4:
D
  Another sunny night
   G
in California
D
  I'm sure back home 
               G
they'd love to see it
A
  But they don't know that
         C
what you love is ripped away
A/C#
  Before you get a 
      G
chance before you
                D      D
get a chance to feel it
