[Verse 1]
Em D Bm A
If you should be bored in California
Em D A Bm
I'm sure I'm not the last to warn ya
Em D Bm A
Don't read in too much to all the signs and turns
Em D A Bm
Keep your wits about you with your mind freedom
Em D Bm A
If you should be bored in California
Em D A Bm
I'm sure I'm not the last to warn ya
Em D
The natives scaled the mountains for the
Bm A
promise of the sea
Em D A Bm
But deem the land unworthy of them evidently
[Chorus]
Em
We salute the sun because
D
When the day is done
Bm
We can't believe what we've become
A
Something else to pray upon
Em D
And evidently it's just another vanity
A
Another something to believe
Bm
The curse of the contemporary
Em
We salute the sun because
D
When the day is done
Bm
We can't believe what we've become
A
Something else to pray upon
Em D
And evidently it's just another vanity
A
Another something to believe
Bm
The curse of the contemporary
[Post-Chorus]
F#m C#m
(Curse of the contemporary)
Bm C#
