[Verse 1]       N.C
                Little Mona Lisa laying by my side,
                N.C.
                'Crimson and Clover' pullin’ overtime,
                N.C
                I feel too close to be a losin’ touch,
                   Bm
                By givin’ in, what am I givin’ up?,
                A
                Am I losin’ way too much?


[Chorus]          G               D
                A hey, California Waiting,
                   G                                        D
                Every little thing's a gotta be just right,
                    G                        D
                But say, while you tryin’ to save me,
                  G                                D
                A can a get back a my lonely life?
                
                
[Verse 2]           G                                    D
                I’m goin’ so fast and I can’t slow down,
                     G                                              D
                It’s hard to get up when you’re spinnin’ round and round,
                    G                                        D
                I’d give you the news a but nothin’s changed,
                    Bm
                I’d sing you a song but they flew it away,
                 A
                All wrapped up in this stupid ass game.
