There’s something out there I just don’t get
A7sus4       G/B                    Cadd9            G   
 I know your friends out there must think I’m pretty strange

 Maybe some west coast thing I’ll never understand

Maybe just because

I hate California
(verse figure)
One more beach day come and gone
A7sus4      G/B                  Cadd9         G
 And by the time you’ve finished gazing at the sea
A7sus4 G/B              Cadd9              G
 3,000 miles away there’s nothing left for me

If there ever was
