[Chorus]
C F C
I've been looking at the wrong ocean
C G
Carolina's been good to me
C F C
But I've been looking at the wrong ocean
Am G F G C
California's where I want to be
Am G F C
Am G C
[Verse 1]
G F C G
Twenty years of the same sun rising
G F C G
My southern roots just been holding me down
G F C
I wanna freefall over Mulholland
F C G
Out where the Eagles met Jackson Brown
Em C
Sit and watch the sun go down
[Chorus]
C F C
I've been looking at the wrong ocean
C F G
Carolina's been good to me
C F C
But I've been looking at the wrong ocean
Am G F C
California's where I want to be
Am G F C
California sounds good to me
[Verse 2]
G C
From the Outer Banks to the City of Angels
G C
One-room apartment on the Boulevard
G C
Big show at the Troubadour and it's getting real lonely
F G
The A & R man with the business cards
C
Says I'm gonna be a star
C C F C
Cause I've been looking at the wrong ocean
Am G F C
Am G F C
[Verse 3]
C Dm F G
Only so many smiles I can fake in a row
Dm F G
So many friends that I really don't know
Dm F G
The devil on my shoulder whispers in my ear
F G
Look homeward angel, what you doing out here?
C
It's been a long three years
[Chorus]
C F C
I've been looking at the wrong ocean
C F G
Carolina's been good to me
C F C
But I've been looking at the wrong ocean
Am G F C
Carolina's where I'm meant to be
Am G F C
California sounds good to me
Am G F C
Am G F C
