Tuning: Standard

************************************

Intro/Verse/Chorus: Bm, D, A, Ee|-2--5--5--7-|B|-3--7--5--9-|G|-4--7--6--9-|D|-4--7--7--9-|A|-2--5--7--7-|E|-------5----|

In terms of strumming pattern, the easiest way is to strum each chord downward
four times with a palm slap between each downward stroke, e.g. for the first
chord Bm, it would be:
E|-2-x-2-x-2-x-2-x|
B|-3-x-3-x-3-x-3-x|
G|-4-x-4-x-4-x-4-x|
D|-4-x-4-x-4-x-4-x|
A|-2-x-2-x-2-x-2-x|
E|---x-------x---x|

Intro:

Bm      DHow do I get out of here?
A             EBack to where I belong
Bm          D           A               ECalifornia, California, baby I'm coming home


Verse:

Bm (just strum once)I need some fun vibes and a couple drops of sunshine
DGood enough pick and choose the always over sometimes 
APour a little out we like to live a lot
EAnd I make better decisions when I'm hot 
BmWe're chasing dreams from our seats at the hang out spot
DNo plan for the night, but we all stay locked 
ARight in, nice grin, uh uhhh no thunder or lightning
EJust the view of the ocean and a sexy ass light skin girl
BmI'm goin back, I'm goin back
DAnd I'm headed for my paradise, my paradise
A                                EWhere I can sit and right songs, eat a little food and we can share our lives 
BmCalifornia got me thinking I should really take it easy
DOut back with my crew and some girls if you need me 
ASo 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      DHow do I get out of here?
A             EBack to where I belong
Bm          D           A        ECalifornia, California, baby I'm coming home


Verse:

Bm (just strum once)So sweet, so sweet Californ-I-a 
DWhere the fruits all fall from my family tree
AI need my skateboard a drink and a long stretch of pavement
EPickin up my pace and I'm back to the basics
BmYeah, travel well on my element 
D                                        AGone for a second and every time I leave you know I'm always second guessing it
                            EThinking ill regret it but you know I'm comin back in the end and I've accepted it
Bm                                  DI'm feeling feeling all feeling all feeling all feeling all golden
                    AWe're skatin on the sidewalk 
                                    EAnd you can hear us all hear us all hear us all rollin 
BmIt's so damn hot outside 
AAnd missed flights are the only things that stoppin me from tryin to kick it tropically
DCuz out here we don't just own the sun
EUs California kids got a monopoly 
Lets go, come on


Chorus:

Bm      DHow do I get out of here?
A             EBack to where I belong
Bm          D           A        ECalifornia, 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) ***

BmAnd these Cali girls Cali girls Cali girls Cali girls
DAre all just so damn fine
AAnd these Cali girls Cali girls Cali girls Cali girls
ERunnin thru my mind
