There's something out there I just don't get
A7sus4       G/B                    Cadd9            G   
 I know your friends out there must think I'm pretty strange
A7sus4     G/B             Cadd9           G

Something in the water, maybe something in the sand

 Maybe some west coast thing I'll never understand

Maybe just because

 Lord knows I don't blame you
C9                        D (chorus figure)
 Lord knows I don't blame you

I hate California
(verse figure)
One more beach day come and gone
A7sus4      G/B                  Cadd9         G
 And by the time you've finished gazing at the sea
A7sus4 G/B              Cadd9              G
 3,000 miles away there's nothing left for me
         Bb9     Cadd9
If there ever was
(verse figure)

 Lord knows
