[Verse 1]

Dm G C
Got on aboard a west bound seven forty seven
Dm G C
Didn't think before deciding what to do
Dm G C C/B Am
All that talk of opportunities, tv breaks and movies
Dm G C
Rang true, sure rang true

[CHORUS]

Dm G C
Seems it never rains in Southern California
Dm G C
Seems I've often heard that kind of talk before
Dm G
It never rains in California
C C/B Am Dm G C
But girl, don't they warn ya it pours, man, it pours

[BRIDGE]

Dm G
I'm Out of work, I'm out of my head
C Am
Out of self respect, I'm out of bread
Dm G
I'm under loved, I'm under fed
C C7 Dm G
I wanna go home, it never rains in California
C C/B Am Dm G C
But girl don't they warn ya, it pours, man, it pours

[Verse 2]

Dm G C
Will you tell the folks back home I nearly made it?
Dm G C
I had offers but don't know which one to take
Dm G
Please don't tell them how you found me
C C/B Am
Don't tell them how you found me
Dm G C
Give me a break, give me a break

[CHORUS]

Dm G C
Seems it never rains in Southern California
Dm G C
Seems I've often heard that kind of talk before
Dm G
It never rains in California
C C/B Am Dm G C
But girl, don't they warn ya it pours, man, it pours...
