I've got blinded by the lights of the guys in the city

Nothing to doubt nothing to hide

You were blinded by the lights
D
I've got lost in the city

Em G
Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

We'll never go back to California
Em G
Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
D A
We'll never go back to California
verse 2
G
I've been trying to find a smell
It's not in the country that I miss
Bm
I wanted to grab you hand
D
It was holding on to something
G
The woman stared into my eyes
I know there was nothing she could find
Bm D
I thought it would be nice if you promess we'll be fine
Chorus

Ouuuuuuu
D A
We'll never go back to California

G
I'm a liar in a cheat
I know time is on my side
Bm
I've got plenty of years to waste
D
I've got plenty of love to give
G
Why do I care to spare another life time by the sea
Bm D
If you're standing there with me then it's where I want to be
