[Verse 1]
                 C#m
I said I'm going over there
             A
 because I'm sick and tired
of going nowhere
Em           B
   Sitting around waiting
on the clean air
C#m              A
   And I thought that I was
crazy because that's
 what they said
Em                     B
   But they don't understand

Because they don't
              C#m
love like we do
                A
and all I think about is
                        Em
you and I'm starting to think
                B
that these rain drops are
                       C#m
 teardrops from me and you
                    A
Falling through the phone,
I don't want to be alone
Em                    B
   We're both waiting on
 the unknown

So,
C#m             A
   I'll get on a plane,
take my passport out again
Em                 B
   To ease all the things
that's causing all this heartache
C#m                   A
   It's better for me, better
for you
Em               B/fl(12)
   And my window seat has
               B/fl(7)
got a view

[Chorus]
C#m          A
   But if it hurts,
                Em
just stay awake
B                          C#m
   We'll try to numb the pain
           A               Em
But if you go, let me know
        B                C#m
Because I'd never be the same
      A
I want you
Em          B                 C#m
You and only you with you and I
A                Em
And the California sky
 B    B/fl(7)

[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
                     C#m
You know you gave me butterflies,
         A
 when you looked at me
 with those eyes
Em                 B
Trust me when I say that
I'm trying to do this all right
C#m           A
   And I know you're a
                         Em
sucker for sunsets with
        B
sunburnt lips, brighter
                  C#m
than a solar eclipse
            A
I could lay here forever
         Em
holding on to you, could
       B
storm any weather,
                     C#m
we could do whatever
   A
If you can wait a little
              Em
longer dear,
     B
then we could do it
together again

[Chorus]
C#m          A
   But if it hurts,
                Em
just stay awake
B
   We'll try to numb
       C#m
the pain
           A               Em
But if you go, let me know
        B                C#m
Because I'd never be the same
      A
I want you
Em          B
You and only you with
        C#m
you and I
A                Em    B
And the California sky

[Solo]
C#m  A  Em  B
C#m  A  Em  B
C#m  A  Em  B
C#m  A  Em  B

[Chorus]
C#m         A
   But if it hurts,
                Em
just stay awake
B*                         C#m
   We'll try to numb the pain
           A              Em
But if you go, let me know
        B               C#m
Because I'd never be the same
      A
I want you
Em          B
You and only you with
          C#m
you and I
A                Em    B
And the California sky

[Outro]
C#m  A  Em  B
