I stretched myself across four states
New lands, west coast, where my dreams lay
[Db]I trade amber [Fm]clay roads for the
[Gb]Sea foam and [Fm]the endless sun rays
[Db]'Cause I was never
told that I wasn't gonna get
The [Fm]things I want the most
But [Gb]people always say,
"If it hasn't happened yet
Then [Fm]maybe you should go"
[Ebm7]Come get me out of California
[Gb]No leaves are brown
[Db]I miss the seasons in Missouri
[Fm7]My dying town
[Ebm7]Thought I'd be cool in California
[Gb]I'd make you proud
[Db]To think I almost had it going
[Ab]But I let you down
[Ebm7] [Fm7] [Gb] [Ebm7] [Fm7] [Gb]
[Db]Too hard to find
[Fm]Reasons to stay
[Gb]Even true love
[Fm]Could not persuade
[Db]'Cause I was never told
that I wasn't gonna get
The [Fm]things I want the most
But [Gb]people always say,
"If it hasn't happened yet
Then [Fm]maybe you should go"
[Ebm7]Come get me out of California
[Gb]No leaves are brown
[Db]I miss the seasons in Missouri
[Fm7]My dying town
[Ebm7]Thought I'd be cool in California
[Gb]I'd make you proud
[Db]To think I almost had it going
[Ab]But I let you down
[Ebm7] [Fm7] [Gb] [Db]
[Ebm7]Come get me out
[Gb]Come get me out
[Db]Come get me out
[Fm]Come get me out
[Ebm7]Come get me out of California
[Gb]No leaves are brown
[Db]I miss the seasons in Missouri
[Fm7]My dying town
[Ebm7]Thought I'd be cool in California
[Gb]I'd make you proud
