F                               G
Your grand entry was all a blur to me
Am                                 G
I never saw your face, just your energy
F                                 G
I think you buried me under hotel sheets
Am                                     N.C.
Then sent me to hell on a second-floor city street


[Pre-Chorus]
F                                 G
I was having bad dreams, you ran away from me
Am
Skeletons in your closet started breaking free
F
You said "Don't worry, babe, this time around I've changed
Am                                  G
You were my baby, but now you're my nightmare


[Chorus]
F  Em  F
Now I'm a-
F  Em     F    G
Now I'm a nightmare
Am  G  Am
Now I'm a-
Am  G     Am   G
Now I'm a nightmare


[Verse 2]
F                                G
On the ceiling, I'm looking down on you
Am                                   G
Getting high off them, but you don't want to
F                            G
Am I on your mind? Don't you deny it
Am
Good luck on the West Coast
N.C.
I don't think you'll find it


[Pre-Chorus]
F                                          G
Fuck your California dreams, get away from me
Am                                   G
Said you hated the city, but I don't believe
F                                       G
Call me up someday when you're not high off your face
Am                     N.C.
And I'll be your baby, but now I'm your nightmare


[Chorus]
F  Em  F
Now I'm a-
F  Em     F    G
Now I'm a nightmare
Am  G  Am
Now I'm a-
Am  G     Am   G
Now I'm a nightmare
F  Em  F
Now I'm a-
F  Em     F    G
Now I'm a nightmare
Am  G  Am
Now I'm a-
Am  G     Am   G
Now I'm a nightmare


[Bridge]
F
California dreams
                     G
Look what you did to me
Am                    N.C.
Oh, I can never sleep


[Pre-Chorus]
F                                          G
Fuck your California dreams, get away from me
Am                                   G
Said you hated the city, but I don't believe
F                                       G
Call me up someday when you're not high off your face
Am
And I'll be your baby, but now I'm your nightmare


[Chorus]
F  Em  F
Now I'm a-
F  Em     F    G
Now I'm a nightmare
Am  G  Am
Now I'm a-
Am  G     Am   G
Now I'm a nightmare
F  Em  F
Now I'm a-
F  Em     F    G
Now I'm a nightmare
Am  G  Am
Now I'm a-
Am  G     Am   G
Now I'm a nightmare


[Outro]
F  Em  F
California dreams
F         Em  F      G
Look what you did to me
Am    G   Am
Oh, I can never sleep
Am     G  Am   G
Now I'm a nightmare
F  Em  F
California dreams
F         Em  F      G
Look what you did to me
Am     G  Am          Am  G  Am  G
Oh, I can never sleep
