Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D]

[Verse 1]
I flew [D]away to [A]California[D]
Ticket away from [G]Oakridge Brown
I thought I'd change seat
I'd changed my mind
An[A]d I'd get straight before [D]too long

[Interlude 1]
And I'd be happy
[D]

[Verse 2]
I met a [D]hundred different people
Still I was lonely and as [G]un happy
as I could [Abdim]be[E]
[Abdim]Cause the ver[A]y first person
I [Bm]met in C[Em]alifornia
Was nobody [A]else but [D]me

[Interlude 2]
[D]

[Verse 3]
I found a [D]place in Santa Barbra
I couldn't wait to see [G]the town
and so I bought a car
I told myself [A]if I had wheels
[D]to get around

[Interlude 3]
That I'd be happy
[D]

[Verse 4]
I went to [D]all famous beaches
Still I was lonely and un
[G]happy as I could [E]be
[Abdim]Cause the ver[A]y first person
I [Bm]met in C[Em]alifornia
Was nobody [A]else but [D]me

[Interlude 4]
[D]

[Verse 5]
I'm go[A]ing back to Tusca[D]loosa
[A]Whe[E]re [A]I grew up
and ran away
[D]I'll start [A]my life [E]again[A][D][G]
I realized [A]it's not the town
in [D]which to stay

[Interlude 5]
That makes you happy
[D]

[Verse 6]
The only [D]place to find contentment
Is deep inside you, way down [G]deep,
and as [E]for me
[Abdim]Well, the ver[A]y first person
I'll [Bm]meet in [Em]Tuscaloosa
Is somebody [A]who will [D]be
The [A]very first person I [Bm]met in C[Em]alifornia
Is nobody [A]else but [D]me
Nobody but me
Nobody but me
