[[CHORDS]]
D                                   G
   You've felt alone since you were only seven
D                            A
   Your mother didn't have a clue what to do
Bm                                G
   You cried each night until you were eleven
Bm                                      A
   You prayed that God would bring your daddy back to you
[CHORUS]
D                             G
   This summer's taking me to California
D                           A
   But I won't go until you know that what I say is true
Bm                             G
   When everything you've ever loved has left you
   Bm                  A
   I'll be there, yeah I'll be there for you
[BRIDGE]
              Bm    A   G
I don't wanna leave you lonely
             D        A
I just wanna be right there
            Bm    A G
Even if you don't believe me
              D              A-Bb-G#-G-F#
I will try to make it clear
