[Verse 1]
Am G F C Am G C
I know I'm never gonna make the same mistake
Am G F C Am G C
It's the one thing I know as I lie awake
Am G F C
I saw you as the sun but you're only a day
Am G F C
I saw you as the ocean but you're only a wave
Am G C
Mmh, mmh, mmh, mmh
[Verse 2]
Am G F C Am G C
Well, I asked for it all, you gave it to me
Am G F C Am G C
But what you gave was broken and I couldn't see
Am G F C
Everyone said I was blind, but I
Am G F C
kept digging deeper to see what I'd find,
Am G F C
and I found, mmh, mmh, mmh
Am G C G
Mmh, mmh, mmh
[Chorus]
C F G
I know there must be better days
Am F G
Right around the corner
C F G
Maybe the life I'm meant to live's
Am F C F C
Out in California, someday
[Verse 3]
Am G F C Am G C
Now the nights are long and I can't sleep
Am G F C Am G C
And I can hear the people out there in the street
Am G F C
They see me in the window as they walk by
Am G F C
Separated by the glass as they're living their lives
Am G F C
And they say, mmh, mmh, mmh
Am G C G
Mmh, mmh, mmh
[Chorus]
C F G
I know there must be better days
Am F G
Right around the corner
C F G
Maybe the life I'm meant to live's
Am F C F C F C
Out in California, someday, someday
[Verse 4]
Am G F C Am G C
When the moon shines bright in the skies above
Am G F C Am G C
We're just kids and poets looking for love
Am G F C
And none of us'll know till the end is near
Am G F C
If we got what we wanted when the clouds have cleared
Am G F C
Mmh, mmh, mmh, mmh, mmh, mmh
Am G C G
Mmh, mmh, mmh
[Chorus]
C F G
I know there must be better days
Am F G
Right around the corner
C F G
Maybe the life I'm meant to live's
Am F C F C F
Out in California, someday, someday
C F C
someday
[Outro]
Am G F C
Mmh, mmh, mmh, mmh

version 2
Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:1st fret
Tuning: Standard
PS: Don't get confused by the Capo placement in these videos: He puts the Capo on the 3rd fret in the videos
because his guitar is down tuned by a full step to DGCFAD. In standard tuning that puts the Capo on the 1st
fret.
