[Intro:] C - F - Ab (x1)
         C - F - Am - G (x1)



[Verse 1:]
 C      G                         F
Well, I know it's all been said before
              C                G
But that will not stop me from trying
     F        C        G                       Em - Dm
To explain to you everything I said is true, yeah
                         Em    F      G
You know you light up my whole world



[Chorus:]
                    C                 F
I thought I lost my heart way back in Florida
                       Am         
Then I found it in California
                          F
I guess that's how things go
                    C                     F
Cause no one really knows what life's got for ya
                            Am
You better hire a real good lawyer
                        F           G          C
And take things as they come in the California sun



[Verse 2:]
           G                              Em - F
Yeah, I consider myself one of the lucky ones
          C                  G
And every night I praise his name
     Em - F        C
I'm not ashamed to say
         G                     Dm
You have made me want to change
                         Em    F      G
You know you light up my whole world



[Chorus:]
                    C                 F
I thought I lost my heart way back in Florida
                       Am
Then I found it in California
                          F
I guess that's how things go
                    C                        F
Cause no one really knows what God's planned for ya
                            Am
You better hire a real good lawyer
                        F           G          C
And take things as they come in the California sun



[Bridge:]
F                        C
Oh, she makes me want to change
                     F
She makes me want to change
C                          F
Yeah, she makes me want to change
                     C
She makes me want to change
                     F
She makes me want to change, yeah



[Chorus:]
                    C                 F

                        F           G          C
And take things as they come in the California sun
F                    Am      F
Yeah, the California sun, whoa
                    C                        F
Cause no one really knows what God's planned for ya
                            Am
You better hire a real good lawyer
