Silverstein - California

^FFeel it, the calm after the s^Dmtorm. As still as I can ^Gbe. I'm finally all a^Flone until I fall asleep...

Trapped in a cage of rear view ^Gmirror eyes. ^FTriangles that ^Glook like faces.

^Dm This is what I get F-Dm for my revenge. A ^Ghidden ^Fmicrophone, ^Gan amber alert implanted... ^Dm...under my skin. F-Dm [G] It's just in my head but ^F it takes me over. It ^Gmakes me forget why I'm ^Dmon my way. These four ^Fyears feel like a hundred.

^DmWest-bound, driving all a^Flone to make sure that you ^Gknow. I've been running s^Fcared without you. I ^Gdrove all night to ^Dmtell you. In dreams I've seen your ^Fface with another in my ^Gplace. C---D Em--C I know it was another life but I never could forget you. Em--C----D I never could forget you.

^Dm We set it up (we ^Fset it ^Dmup) like a house of cards ^Gin a ^Fhurricane. We ^Gdidn't think it would ever make sense. ^Dm He set us up (he ^Fset you ^Dmup), he knew just where to ^Gplant it. ^F It knocked me over, it ^Gmade me forget how I ^Dmfell in love. How ^Fmuch I really cared.

In dreams I've seen your ^Fface with another in my ^Gplace. C---D [Ad Lib: Em-D-C-D] I know it was another life but I never could forget you. I never could forget you.

^DmYou'll see me t^Ghere like a fa^Fmiliar stranger s^Gtanding on the street. ^Dm I'll say a ^Gprayer, I'll intro^Fduce myself like it's the ^Gfirst time we'd ever meet. ^Dm In Cali^Ffornia, I'd ^Dmlearn that sometimes you ^Fhave to ^Grun a^Dmway. In Cali^Ffornia, Am C--D I'd find myself again.
