[Verse 1]
[G]Whe[Am]n I w[G]as young,
my [Am]mama told [G]me
She [D]said, child, take your [Em]time
Don't [C]fall in love too [G]quickly
Be[Am]fore you know you're [C]mine
She [G]held me [Am]round the [G]shoulder
In a [D]voice so soft [Em]and kind
She said [C]love can make you [G]happy
And [Am]love can run you [G]blind
[Am]Here [D]in Californi[G]a
The [Am]food chains [D]have me on the [Em]run
And there's no [C]gold
I thought I'd [G]warn you
And it [Am]builds to [D]drown in the
summer of [G]time[Am][D][G]
Well, I'm in [Am]love to [G]love you
But [D]I can't say i[Em]t
This [C]morning we were [G]strangers
And [Am]to night we're only fr[C]iends
But I [G]take my [Am]time to [G]know you
And I [D]take my time to [Em]see
There is [C]nothing that I won't [G]show you,
if you [Am]take your time with [G]me.
[Am]Here [D]in Californi[G]a,
the [Am]fruit hangs [D]happy on the [Em]vine.
And there's no [C]gold,
that's what I'd want [G]you
And [Am]your pills to [D]grind some more time

[Verse 2]
[G]It's an old, famili[Am]ar st[G]ory[D][Em]
To everything [C]there is a [G]season
To every [Am]purpose there's [C]a time
Time to [G]love and [Am]come to[G]gether
The time when [D]love longs for a [Em]name
Time for [C]questions we can't [G]answer
But we [Am]ask them just the s[G]ame
[Am]Here [D]in Californi[G]a,
the [Am]fruit hangs [D]heavy on the [Em]vine
And there's no [C]gold,
I thought [G]I'd warn you
And the [Am]hills turn [D]brown in the
[G]summertime[Am][D][G]
You
