[Intro]
{Em, D, C, G} x 2
[Verse 1]
Em D C G
Try'na set myself up for the win
(G) Em D C G
So people got a dream that's so much bigger than the town they're in
(G) Em D C G
So give me love, give me love, give me peace, give me peace of mind
(G) Em D C G
I know that there's an ought to a start and I need a little help with mine
[Pre-Chorus]
(Palm muted, you'll hear it in the song)
Em D C G
California, don't let me down
Em D C G
Seems so golden, but there's struggle all around
Em D C G
Sunset Jesus, came to me
Em D C G
He once was waiter, now he's a savior making money on the street
(At this point, the chords change rhythm into Em D Em C G,
but for simplicity's sake, I've kept them the same till the breaks)
[Chorus]
Em D C G
My dreams are made of gold
Em D C G
My heart's been broken and I'm down along the road
(G) Em D C G
But I know, my dreams keep fading til I get old
Em D C G
Breathe for a minute, breathe for a minute, I'll be okay
[Break]
(The break is thrice as long, so for acoustic purposes I've shortened it)
{Em, D, Em, C, G} x 4
[Verse 3]
Em D C G
Staring at the billboard from the bus
Em D C G
Looking at the faces, thinking that could be anyone of us
Em D C G
So give me hope, give me hope, give me hope on this lonely ride
Em D C G
Cause I know one day, I will be the one in the sky
[Pre-Chorus]
(Palm muted)
N.C. Em D
California, don't let me down
Em D C G
Seems so golden, but there's struggle all around
Em D C G
Sunset Jesus, came to me
Em D C G
He once was waiter, now he's a savior making money on the street
[Chorus]
Em D C G
My dreams are made of gold
Em D C G
My heart's been broken and I'm down along the road
(G) Em D C G
But I know, my dreams keep fading til I get old

Em D C G
My dreams are made of gold

Breathe for a minute, breathe for a minute, I'll be okay
Em D C G
My dreams are made of gold

My heart's been broken and I'm down along the road

But I know, my dreams keep fading til I get old
Em D C G
Breathe for a minute, breathe for a minute, I'll be okay
