[Lyrics]
(Intro w/ Bassline only)
Write a song about California he said.
Write a song about California
he said to me before I left but I,
think I'll write a song about him instead.
[Verse 1]
AM7
Now, I'm sitting up on Hollywood Hill
E9 Eb9
Can't think of a single thing to sing about this place, maybe I never will
D9 AM7 F#9
but I'm thinkin' bout you still.
AM7
Walking down Sunset Boulevard
E9 Eb9
Never thought writing a song about some place could be this hard
D9 AM7 F#9 Bm7 E9
With you I don't know where to start.
[Chorus]
DM7
Here's to the boy
AM7
who keeps me up all night,
DM7
who sings exactly right,
AM7
and never lets me know.
DM7
Here's to the boy,
C#dim
the one with the bright eyes,
B9
who makes me realize,
F7 E7
I got a long long way to go to California.
[Interlude]

Now I am standing on this pier

with all the sights and sounds of Santa Monica still ringing in my ears.
AM7
I'm wishing you were here.
AM7 AM7 BbM7
Write a song about California he said.
AM7 E9 E9 Eb9
Think of something everybody's got to do before they're dead,
D9 AM7 F#9 Bm7 E9
but I wrote this song about you instead.
[Chorus]
DM7
Here's to the boy
AM7
who keeps me up all night,
DM7
who sings exactly right,
AM7
and never lets me know.

Here's to the boy,

the one with the bright eyes,

who makes me realize,

I got a long long way to go to California.
