Fictional California chords by Sufjan Stevens & Angelo De Augustine

[Verse 1]

G                  
Now, Whittier arrived in 
C         G   D
fictional California
G
We're gonna bring it on again
C           G      D
Bring it on to you hard
G     
Our school spirit 
            C
was defined by 
      G   D
dance and drama
G
The lord above 

will be my guide

    C       G     D
The light into my heart
 
 
[Chorus]

C            G        Am
Open the light to the darkness
C          G 
Open your heart, 
       Am
let it all hang out
C          G          Am
Open your life to the hardness
C          G
Open your mind 'til it 
Am
all falls out
                G
Let it all fall out
 
G C G D
 
[Verse 2]

G
Now that I have survived
    C         G     D
The spectacle of my youth
G
I'm gonna bring it on again
C           G       D
Bring it on with my truth
G              
My foolish spirit 

was denied by a 
C       G    D
romance diorama
G
I put my passion in my pride
     C         G           D
My beloved was finally refused
 
 
[Chorus]

C         G            Am
Open the light to the darkness
C          G 
Open your heart, 
       Am
let it all hang out
C          G           Am
Open your life to the hardness
C          G 
Open your mind 'til it 
Am
all falls out
                  G
Let it all fall out
 
G C G D
 
[Bridge]

Em                  Am       D
I'm all alone at the megaphone
Em                     Am 
I'm all psyched up as I make 
         D
my mark in total darkness
Em                Am 
I look alive but I feel so 
   D
dead inside, I'm bleeding
Em     
Gonna break a leg 
        Am
with the basket toss
        D                 G
For the loss of my broken dreams
 
G C G D
 
[Outro]

G                  
Now, Whittier arrived in 
C         G   D
fictional California
G
We're gonna bring it on again
C           G      D
Bring it on to you hard
