[Intro 1]
[Am][F][Am][Em][F][Am][F][Am][Em][F]

[Verse 1]
[F]Well,
I'm [Am]holding [F]on, yeah, I'm [Am]holding [Em]it a[F]ll in
When it [Am]all goes w[F]rong you
[Am]just [Em]can't [F]win.
I can't [Am]stand another [F]sunrise
and I [Am]need [C]a little [F]rain
Well, the [Am]angels left this [F]city and they
[Dm]won't [C]be [Em]back [F]again.

[Verse 2]
Now I'm [C]leaving [G]Califor[Am]nia
and I'll [F]never look back.
[C]I took a [G]picture [Am]for you
but I [F]painted it black.
[C]One more dream around a [G]run away drive,
Now there's [Am]one less burned
out [F]star in the sky,
[C]Leaving [G]Califor[F] ni[C] a [F]tonight.
[Am][F][Am][Em][F]

[Verse 3]
[Em]There's a [Am]broken [F]dream in Santa [Am]Monica,
[C]crushing [F]night,
And that [Am]old m[F]ovie, well,
it's [Am]got in my way t[Em]onight,
[F]And the lig[Am]hts are in [Em]the rear[F]
view and [Am]the stars up in [F]the sky
And I [Am]don't know [C]where [F]I'm going, baby,
[Dm]but it's t[Em]ime to say g[F]oodbye.

[Verse 4]
Now I'm [C]leaving [G]Califor[Am]nia
and I'll [F]never look back.
[C]I took a [G]picture [Am]for you
but I [F]painted it black.
[C]One more dream around a [G]run away drive,
Now there's [Am]one less burned
out [F]star in the sky,
[C]Leaving [G]Califor[F]nia tonight.

[Verse 5]
I've got a [F]one way ticket,
I'm a [Em]rolling stone,
I'm a [F]goodbye kiss and then I'm [Am]going,
[G]going, [F]gone.
Like wind, like [Em]fire, [C]like rain,
[F]Know I'm never coming [G]back again.

[Verse 6]
'Cause I'm [G]leaving [C]Cal[G]ifornia[Am]
and I'll [F]never look back.
[C]I took a [G]picture [Am]for you
but [F]I painted it black.
[C]One more dream around a [G]run away drive,
Now there's [Am]one less burned
out [F]star in the sky,
[C]Leaving [G]Californi[F]a,

[Verse 7]
[F]Now I'm [C]leaving [G]Califor[Am]nia
and I'll [F]never look back.
[C]I took [G]a picture f[Em]or y[C]ou
but I [F]painted it black.
[C]One more dream around [G]a run away drive,
Now there's [Am]one less burned
out [F]star in the sky,
[C]Leaving [G]Califor[F] nia tonight

[Outro 1]
