California Lyrics & Chords By The Weekend

I met him on my birthday – he was
A present to me from the stars
They all said “Happy Birthday, girl”
Then they tore my world apart.
They put me on the east side
And they left him in L.A
The distance grew between us
And we broke up yesterday
But if I cry myself a river then I can swim
To my sweet California
Give me a
C - A – L –I…I never knew
I could feel like that
F - O - R – N…anyone could tell you
I got it bad
I – A…I ain't going down this way
I'm gonna cry myself a river so I can
Swim back to my sweet
California
They're telling me I cry too much
That I could fill every bath and sink
In this city I got stuck in
With its tragic symphonies
They warned me not to get attached
But they got to me way too late
‘Cause I'm thinking of him constantly-
every moment I'm awake
But if I cry myself a river
Then I could swim back to my sweet
California
Give me a
C - A – L –I…I never knew
I could feel like that
F - O - R – N…anyone could tell you
I got it bad
I – A…I ain't going down this way
I'm gonna cry myself a river so I can
Swim back to my sweet
California
…cold water bring me back to my
senses…cold water let me drown in
him…cold water bring me back to my
senses…cold water
bring me back to him
Oh give me a
C - A - L - I…I never knew
I could feel like that
F - O - R - N…anyone could tell you
I got it bad
I – A…I ain't going down this way
I'm gonna cry myself a river so I can
Swim back to my sweet
California
