UncomGmon amount of the time at home, haCrdly a word on the telephone. FDinally find the time to get to knCow you. Still mapGping it out like a master plan, something to do wCith my idle hands. Write you a lettDer addressed from CalCifornia.
Solo
It's Gvivid and strong in my memory, an abseCnce that smacks of abandoning. It Dlet to the battle that ultimately destroyed uCs. I'm notGhing if I don't know your mistakes, the pillC is as bitter as I can take. It tDwists like a blade when I leave for CalifoCrnia.
Strum these chords.
GLaF dEma lDa ClaB dAa Gda
Back to verse style
I hoGpe that you know this is killing me, it's Call in the name of the family. We onlyD can play the cards the dealer deaClt us. The eGnd of the cycle is closing in, with yCou I see new hope begin again. There Dsuddenly seems to be promise in CalCifornia.
Strum the rest of the song.
GLaF dEma lDa ClaB dAa Gda GAs heavy as all this is Fweighing me, beEmlieve in the words I am Dpromising. IC'm Bstill Ahere for hGer. ThGe distance is only anF obstacle, haEmrdly a match for a Dmiracle. I'Cm fiBnally Aready to go to CalGifornia.
