Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G]

[Verse 1]
[G]Hello California,
Sure is strange to be here
[C]today.[Csus2]
What's a boy [C]from down
in [Csus2]Austin
Doin' [C]in [Csus2]the city of angels anyway?
[G]So won't ya come on
out here with me?
Find out what you can or can
not [C]see[Csus2]
Maybe gain a new perspective
Why we're [C]so [Csus2]infected by our dream[G]s

[Verse 2]
Yeah and [Am]baby,
[D]I'll be out her[G]e dreaming
And [Am]thinking about the [D]life we could [G]have
Yeah but [D]you're back home in Texas,
And I'm wondering when's the
next time I get to [Csus2]hold you
[C]I just wanna h[G]old you

[Verse 3]
[G]
It's the sweetest kind of poison
Tackle you and take away
[C]your faith[Csus2]
Whiskey for [C]a l[Csus2]ifetime
Wreck your [C]soul with
[Csus2]the smallest little taste
[G]

[Verse 4]
Yeah and [Am]baby,
[D]I'll be out her[G]e dreaming
And [Am]thinking about the [D]life we could [G]have.
Well I'm [D]stranded in Los Angeles
Wondering when's the next time
I get to [Csus2]hold you,[C]
[Csus2]I just wa[C]nna hold[Csus2] you.[G]

[Verse 5]
[Em]I am just a guitar man
That fell in love with you
[C]Times good or bad,
I'd take ?em all the same
[Em]You could have some 9 to 5 man
comin' home to take your hand
[F]You know he's never gonna [D]do

[Verse 6]
Is [G]this the life I dreamed of?
Guess it's just the way it all went
[Csus2]down[Em][C][Em]
[Csus2]Damn right I sure[C] am happy
[Csus2]
With the crazy [C]piece [Csus2]of life
[C]that I have found
[G]

[Verse 7]
Yeah and [Am]baby,
[D]I'll be out her[G]e dreaming
And [Am]thinking about the [D]life we could [G]have
Yeah but [D]you're back home in Texas,
And I'm stranded in Los Angeles
Wondering when's the next
time I get to [Csus2]hold you,
I just wanna [G]hold you.
