Intro: E

 E
 I knew that this was wrong as I
                         
 Stood reaching for the bedroom light,
          C#m
 But she turned me on.
                
 So I turned it off.
 E
 Now every man has got his flaws,
                    
 His breaking point, his sacred cause.
     C#m
 And I had mine,
             
 But I crossed that line.

     A
 Now I could never ask you to
     F#m
 Forgive me for the things I do,
     A
 But if you ever need me
  B
 You know where I'll be.

E
 Meet me in California,
C#m                              A
 I'll be there waiting for your call.
                Am
 I'll be there waiting for you.
E
 Cause you know in California
C#m                               A
 There's something better for us all.
            Am
 Meet me in California.

E
 This night was like a bible verse
                       
 With pages torn and missing words
     C#m
 Condemning me.
         
 And I'm on my knees.
    E
 I wish that I could start again,
 
 Peel the past like sunburned skin
       C#m
 Right off of me,
                   
 But it's not that easy.

E                       B
 I don't wanna say goodbye
                            C#m
 And I don't wanna make you cry.
                              A
 I just wanna see you smile again.

 Is waiting over there for me.
