[Intro]
D C G (x2)
[Verse]
D C G
I was in the front seat of your car,
D C
I didn't realize that the light was changing red
G
Or your battle scars
D
My heart was bleeding,
C G
Are you still believing?
[Chorus]
D C G
California's gonna call my name again, again
F#m G Bm A
Someday, somebody's gonna love you,
F#m G Bm A
Someday, somebody's gonna care,
D
But it ain't me
G A Bm G
If you could breathe again,
G
Don't waste your breath on me.
Bm A D
It's gonna hurt to call this off in the long run.
G A Bm G
If you could breathe again,
G
don't let it be for me.
Bm A G
Yeah, your heart will never feel the same again
G
Ow!
[Interlude]
D C G (x2)
[Verse]
N.C.
I was in the left lobes of my brain.
N.C.
I didn't realize I was thinking 'bout myself,
N.C.
And how much I've changed.
D
My heart was fleeing
C G
Are you still believing?
[Chorus]
D C G
California's gonna call my name again, again
F#m G Bm A
Someday, somebody's gonna love you,
F#m G Bm A
Someday, somebody's gonna care,
D
But it ain't me
G A Bm G
If you could breathe again,
G
Don't waste your breath on me.
Bm A D
It's gonna hurt to call this off in the long run.
G A Bm G
If you could see again,
G
don't even look at me.
Bm A G
Yeah, your heart will never feel the same again.
[Bridge]
D G
Marilyn, I know you're feelin' this,
Em
But I know you're scared to death,

Of what your heart, it wants to say, but,
D G
Marilyn, I know you're full of shit
Em
'cause I know you're feelin' this.
Bm A D
Yeah, your heart will never feel the same again.
G
Marilyn, I know you're feelin' this,
Em
But I know you're scared to death
Bm A D
Yeah, your heart will never feel the same again.
G
Marilyn, I know you're feelin' this,
Em
But I know you're scared to death
Bm A D*
My everything, my everything, my Marilyn.
