G C Em C

[Verse 1]
G                             C
Who's the girl inside of the blue-screen light?
                   Em
The sun is just pouring out
                  C
And everything's out of sight
G                               C
Turn around, the room is just black and white
                   Em
She's whispering: Nah nah na-na-na nah, nah nah
 C
Nah nah na-na-na nah

[Chorus]
          G
And it's not true
          C
And it's not fair
          G
And it's not you
     C           G
And it's not California here

[Verse 2]
  G                            C
Later on you're breaking the boxes down
                Em
There's nobody out tonight
           C
Nobody's hanging round
         G                             C
So you take the drive that used to be almost right
                    Em
And now it's just empty lots around you
                  C
All these empty lots around you

[Chorus]
          G
And they don't know
          C
What you hold dear
          G
And they can't see
     C                    G
That it's not California here

[Verse 3]
G                            C
Come a time when I may just walk away
                  Em
The sun is just barely on
               C
The sky is completely gray
    G                            C
But you're the one I want to be with today
              Em
Let them say: Nah nah na-na-na nah, nah nah
 C
Nah nah na-na-na nah

[Chorus]
         G
And I'm not strong
            C
And you're not rich
          G
And we're not lost
           C
Where we don't live
          G
And it's not true
          C
And it's not fair
            G
And they're not us
     C                   G
And it's not California here

[Outro]
G        D               Em            C
I'm the one who wants to be with you tonight
     G               D               Em               C
And I'm the one who wants to be the one you're with tonight
     G               D               Em               C
And I'm teh one who wants to be the one you're with tonight
     G               D               Em               A7    C D G
And I'm the one who wants to be the one you're with tonight
