OneRepublic – West Coast Chords on Piano & Ukulele

[Intro]
                             C#
I've been dreaming about the West
Coast (I've been dreaming)
                         A
Found some places that I don't know 
(I've been dreaming about)
            F#m
Give me the sun for just a year
              G#
I'll kiss the sky and disappear

[Verse 1]
                  C#m
I've been starin' up 
at the grayest skies
                       A
Tryna find myself some
luck but it's running dry
                           F#m
Like the weather makes the worst
in my cloudy mind
                     G#
I could really use a dose
and some paradise
                    C#m
Sometimes you gotta run
from my broken heart
                     A
Before I turn into a ghost,
need a brand new start
                         F#m
Got myself headed to the coast
and it ain't that far
                      G#
And they got some L.A.
and some shining stars

[Chorus]
                             C#
I've been dreaming about the West
Coast (I've been dreaming)
                         A
Found some places that I don't know
(I've been dreaming about)
           F#m
I see your signs for California
           G#
Change the shade for something warmer
                             C#m
I've been dreaming about the West
Coast (I've been dreaming)
                          A
Where the people take you real slow
(I've been dreaming about)
           E
I need the sun for just a year
              G#
I'll kiss the sky and disappear

[Verse 2]
              C#m
And failed to drop now for forty days
                           A
But still, they're washin' cars
and controllin the age
                         F#m
Ain't nothing that you'd wanna
cost you more than time
                         G#
If you're tryna find yourself,
better get in line
  C#m
I counted up my money and
spendin' to get it right
        A
Got the future in my pocket,
I'm spendin' it all a night
       E
Like a prophet with the vision,
I finally see the light
        G#
And you know
