Back To California by Sugarcult
Back To California
(capo on 2nd fret)
(1st verse:)
Em G C
How long I'll wait just to say goodbye.
Em G C
Ten different ways to enjoy this night.
Em G C
Can't do this anymore, won't feel you anymore.
Em G C
How long I'll wait, just to say goodbye.
D C
You can never let me in
D C
Holding on until the end.
Em G C
The time I waste just to say goodbye.
Em G C
Out of your way, I could do this right.
Em G C
Can't see you anymore, won't feel you anymore.
Em G C
How long I'll stay, just to say goodbye.
(chorus)
G D
Leave it all, the fights, and all.
C D
Summer's getting colder.
G D
Drive all night to hold you tight.
C D
Back to California.
G D
Days went by, we waited and I
C D
Guess we're getting older.
G D C
We couldn't win in the end.
D
You're gone.
(2nd verse: same chords as first verse)
I'm miles away, turning out the lights.
Ten different ways I could end this night.
Can't do this anymore, won't feel you anymore.
How long I'll wait just to say goodbye.
Say goodbye.
(chorus: same chords)
Leave it all, the fights and all.
Summer's getting colder.
Drive all night to hold you tight.
Back to California.
Days went by, we waited and I
Guess we're getting older.
We couldn't win in the end.
You're gone.

How long I'll wait

You could never let me in

Holding on until the end
The time I waste just to say goodbye
Out of your way
I could do this right
Can't see you anymore
Won't feel you anymore
How long I'll stay
Just to say goodbye, say goodbye
A A A A(2)
Leaving all the fights and all
D D D D(2)
Summer's getting colder
Drive all night to hold you tight
Back to California
Days went by We waited and I
guess we're getting older
A A D D D D(2) D D(2)
We couldn't win in the end
D
You're gone
I'm miles away
Turning out your lights
Ten different ways I couldn't miss light
Can't do this anymore
Won't feel you anymore
How long I'll wait
Just to say goodbye, say goodbye
Leaving all the fights and all
Summer's getting colder
Drive all night to hold you tight
Back to California
Days went by
We waited and I guess we're getting older
We couldn't win in the end
You're gone
