[Verse] (Riff over verse)
A
Miss California what did I do wrong
A
It seems I''ve loved you
A
For just a little too long
                C
You''ve gone and left me
                    D
For some preacher''s way
        A  N.C.
Now you act like you never knew me
And you can''t hear a word I say
 
[Verse]
A
Miss California did I get in your way
A
Did the neighbors warn you
A
What would happen some day
                  C
That a love like mine
                  D
Was never good anyway
          A  N.C.
They said think about your reputation now
Before you get carried away
 
[Chorus]
         C                     D                     A     A
Don''t you know what''s good for me, can be good for you
          C                   D                      A     A
Don''t you know what''s good for me, can be good for you
            D                    C
Don''t you know what is good for you
    G             Bb     A
Can be good for me too
              C                 D                    A     A
Don''t you know what''s good for me, can be good for you
 
[Verse]
       A
Miss California was I a little too proud
A
I''m standing in the streets now
A
And I''m screaming out loud
                             C
You try to shove me in your closet
                            D
With your skulls and your bones
 A
I can be who I am, you see
A
If I want to do it all alone
 
[Chorus]
  C         D        A       A
Yeah yeah yeah yea
            C                  D                             A   A
Don''t you know what''s good for me, could be good for you
           D                    C
Don''t you know what is good for you
     G              Bb A
Can be good for me too
           C                    D                  A           A
Don''t you know what''s good for me, could be good for you
 
[Verse]
A
Your sweet seduction led me far from home
A
Your self-destruction gives me sticks and stones
C                                D
Your propositions make me feel so cold
 
[Bridge]
N.C.
When the hand that''s trying to hold me down
Is the one I''m trying to hold
I know the hand that''s trying to hold me down
Is the one I''m trying to hold
I said the hand that''s trying to force me back
Is the one that won''t let me go
 
(Rest 3 beats)
         D             C        A  A
