[Intro]
                   
I've been dreaming 
          A
About the West Coast 

(I've been dreaming)
                      
Found some places that 
  F
I don't know 

(I've been dreaming about)
            Dm
Give me the sun for just a year
              E
I'll kiss the sky and disappear
 
 
[Verse]

                 
I've been starin'
 Am
 Up at the grayest skies
                       F
Tryna find myself some luck 

But it's running dry

                          
Like the weather makes the 
 Dm   
 Worst in my cloudy mind

                     E
I could really use a dose 

And some paradise

                    Am
Sometimes you gotta run 

From my broken heart

                     F
Before I turn into a ghost, 

Nneed a brand new start

                         Dm
Got myself headed to the coast 

And it ain't that far

                      E
And they got some L.A. and 

Some shining stars
 
 
[Chorus]
                   
I've been dreaming 
          A
About the West Coast 

(I've been dreaming)
                     
Found some places that 
  F
I don't know 

(I've been dreaming about)
           Dm
I see your signs for California
           E
Change the shade for something warmer
                 
I've been dreaming 
          Am
About the West Coast 

(I've been dreaming)
                          F
Where the people take you real slow 

(I've been dreaming about)
           C
I need the sun for just a year
              E
I'll kiss the sky and disappear
 
[Verse]

              Am
And failed to drop now for forty days
                           F
But still, they're washin' cars 

And controllin the age

                         Dm
Ain't nothing that you'd wanna cost

You more than time
                         E
If you're tryna find yourself, 

Better get in line

  Am
I counted up my money and

 Spendin' to get it right

        F
Got the future in my pocket, 

I'm spendin' it all a night
       C
Like a prophet with the vision, 

I finally see the light
        E
And you know
 
 
[Chorus]
                   
I've been dreaming 
          A
About the West Coast

(I've been dreaming)
                               F
Found some places that I don't know 

(I've been dreaming about)
           Dm
I see your signs for California
           E
Change the shade for something warmer
                   
I've been dreaming 
          Am 
About the West Coast 

(I've been dreaming)
                          F
Where the people take you real slow 

(I've been dreaming about)
           C
I need the sun for just a year
     E
I'll kiss the sky and disappear
 
 
[Bridge]

    A
The West Coast (Ah-ah)
                       F
Follow the star in the skies (Ah-ah)
                Dm
I wanna do this right
                               E
(Take me) Where the sun shines
 
[Chorus]

                  
I've been dreaming   
          Am
About the West Coast
                      F
Time to find myself a new cloth
           C
I need the sun for just a year
              E
I'll kiss the sky and disappear
                   
I've been dreaming  
          A
about the West Coast 

(I've been dreaming)
                      
Found some places that  
        F
I don't know  

(I've been dreaming about)
           Dm
I see your signs for California
           E
Change the shade for something warmer
                   
I've been dreaming 
          Am
About the West Coast
 

(I've been dreaming)
                          F
Where the people take you real slow 

(I've been dreaming about)

           C
I need the sun for just a year
              E
I'll kiss the sky and disappear
