California and Me Chords by Laufey

[Intro]
Cmaj7 Caug Cmaj7 Caug
 

[Verse 1]
Cmaj7    Caug    Cmaj7    
Shoud've figured that 
                     Caug
you'd go back to New York
Cmaj7    Caug  Cmaj7      
Don't consider me when you 
          Caug
run back to her
    Fmaj7                   
You don't have to hide it 
  FmMaj7
I know why you went
     C/E                   
Said you needed space I know 
D9
better than that
Dm7 C6   F6   Fm
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm...
 

[Verse 2]
Cmaj7      Caug       Cmaj7     
Could have fought for you 
                   Caug
but I just let you leave
Cmaj7     Caug        Cmaj7  
Heard too much to consider 
                Caug
you didn't love me
    Fmaj7                  
The mountains, the valley, 
     FmMaj7
we'd weep through the night
C/E                    
Driving down sunsets, 
  D9
I tear up outside
Dm7  C6   F6   Fm
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
 
[Chorus]
Cmaj7           Caug    
Left me and the ocean 
         F6  G7
for your own flame
Cmaj7           Caug    
Holding back my tears 
           Dm7      G7
I couldn't make you stay
Eaug
Can't quit this
Am7    D7       Dm7
So damn wicked to leave
G7             Cmaj7 Caug F6 G7
California and me
 

[Verse 3]
Cmaj7 Caug   Cmaj7          
I    imagine you holding hеr 
        Caug
in your arms
Cmaj7    Caug     Cmaj7         
Laughing loud how I thought that 
             Caug
you were the onе
Fmaj7                FmMaj7
I get so anxious and maybe I knew
    C/E                   
The first sign of trouble 
     D9
when I bite my tongue
Dm7  C6   F6   Fm
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
 
[Chorus]
Cmaj7           Caug    
Left me and the ocean 
         F6  G7
for your own flame
Cmaj7           Caug    
Holding back my tears 
           Dm7      G7
I couldn't make you stay
Eaug
Can't quit this
Am7     D7        Dm7
So damn wicked to leave
G7             Cmaj7
California and me
 
Caug Cmaj7 Caug C
