Tom: C
C
I dream I'm breathing air
Bm
That no-one breathed before
Am
I've got the desert in my hair
C
My arm gets tanned
Bb C
As it hangs from a Chevy door
C
I dream the heat haze sleeps
Bm
Above the white hot sand
Am
I watch the land unfurl
C
Around the vanishing point
Bb
Like the spines of a giant fan
[Chorus 1]
G
Will you be my short-wave station?
Em
Will you be my Dairy Queen?
C
Will you be my destination
Am
When I burn out of gasoline?
G
Will you be my restoration?
Em
Will you be my decline and fall?
C
Will you be my own road movie?
Am
All the roads at home are too small
Am
All the roads at home are too small
G Bm C Am
California California California
[Verse 2]
C
I dream I'm dragging deep
Bm
On an unfamiliar brand
Am
I watch the stub spin down
C
The black night road
Bb C
Like the fuse of a fire bomb
C
I still don't feel like sleep
Bm
In some lone motel
Am
The towns are ferris wheels
C Bb
And the streetlights spin like the stars in a carousel
[Chorus 2]
G
Will you be my short-wave station?
Em
Will you be my Dairy Queen?
C
Will you be my destination
Am
When I burn out of gasoline?
G
Will you be my restoration?
Em
Will you be my decline and fall?
C
Will you be my own road movie?
Am
All the roads at home are too small
Am
All the roads at home are too small
G Bm C Am
California California California
[Bridge]
Em
I can't afford my rent
C
I can't afford my loan
Am
I can't afford to fail
C
I've got two straight weeks
Bb
To lay waste to Babylon
[Chorus 3]
G
Will you be my short-wave station?
Em
Will you be my Dairy Queen?
C
Will you be my destination
Am
When I burn out? (California)
G
Will you be my short-wave station?
Em
Will you be my cruise control?
C
Will you be my destination
Am
Now I show signs of growing old?
G
Will you be my restoration?
Em
Will you be my decline and fall?
C
Will you be my own road movie?
Am
All the roads at home are too small
Am
All the roads at home are too small
Am G
All the roads at home are too small
