Capo 3

Intro: C

Em       G            C                Bm
I called Jesus but he didn't check his phone today,
Em                C
Oh oh, there's my summer girl
          G
I've been wanting her
D
I hear she's got a boyfriend
Em               G              C             Bm
Thought I could leave her for a season but it just got cold
Em           C                 G
Yeah, it's a lonely hour in my cellphone tower,
D
Broken down transmission.

C             G              Em            C
But I'm gonna take you to my boxcar on the beach
C             G            Em
And I'm gonna hang the sun above your bed
    Am        D       Em
And soak your hair in bleach

          C            D   Em    G
You'll be missed, Miss California
          C         D    Em    G
You'll be kissed by only me
          C          D          D#    Em    C
When they can't find you you'll turn into a mystery
              D                               Em   C
But you're no mystery to me, Miss California

Em        G           C                Bm
I called Jesus but he heard I hurt his little girl,
Em     G      C                         G
yeah, with my reckless stare, I've been so unfair
   D
Misplacing my affections
Em        G             C              Bm
She had a reason not to take me back into her care
Em  G          C                      G
Oh, I'm just a stray dog now, I can't beg or bow
     D
Just give me some direction.

C             G               Em                 C
But I'm gonna take you to the mansion where I hide
C             G               Em
and I'm gonna paint a diamond on your hand
    Am       D     Em
And you will be my bride


          C            D   Em    G
You'll be missed, Miss California
          C         D    Em      G
You'll be kissed by only me
          C          D          D#     Em   C
When they can't find you you'll turn into a mystery
              D                   Em   C
But you're no mystery to me, Miss California

        C     G
Miss California
Em       D      C       G      Em  D    C
I'll be around, I'll be around.

          C            D   Em
You'll be missed, Miss California
          C         D    Em
You'll be kissed by only me
          C          D          D#     Em   C
When they can't find you you'll turn into a mystery
    D
But not to me.

          C           D   Em     G
You'll be missed Miss California
         C       D      Em   G
We'll be married in the rain
          C          D       D#        Em     C
When they can't find you I'm sure I'll be the one they blame
         D
But they can't prove anything
     C   G      Em   D
Miss California
     C   G
Miss California
Em       D
I'll be around

C    G
