[Verse 1]
Am G F C
There's a golden gate to the hwy 1
Am G F C
Ringing mission bells in the setting sun
Am G
If there's a long way home
F C
That's the road I'm on
F G
But I think I'm gonna make it tonight
[Verse 2]
Am G F C
I left home when I was 16
Am G F C
I'm Just a run away chasin the west coast dream
Am G
Cause when I thought I knew love
F C
it didn't love me
F G
and its a hard thing waiting to be
G
[Chorus]
Am Em F C
All this California dreamin is weighin heavy on my mind
Am Em F G
If I was good enough for leavin, why can't I leave it all behind
F C Am G
All those lazy days we lay in, gettin high and drinkin wine
Am G
I should be over you...
F C

[Verse 3]
Am G F C
I bought a midnight ticket with a broken heart
Am G F C
I packed an old suitcase for a brand new start
Am G F C
It's an open road with no end in sight
F G
tell me lord am I doin it right
[Chorus]
Am Em F C
All this California dreamin is weighin heavy on my mind
Am Em F G
If I was good enough for leavin, why can't I leave it all behind

It's the reason some nights that I can't turn out the light
Am G
cause even though you're gone
F C

F G
and I can't just leave it alone
[Chorus]
