Tom: D
D G A G D
[Verse 1]
D
Left behind my home
G
Three thousand miles down the road
A D G D
In my honda with my only mouth to feed
D
I don't care what town
G
As long as she's not hangin round
A D G D
Just get me far as hell from Nashville, Tennessee
[Chorus]
D
Cause I'd rather be depressed
G
In California
A D G D
Ocean's got the only blues I need
D
Lay me down to rest
G
In California
A D G D
Heart as cold as New Year's NYC
[Verse 2]
D
Friends all think I'm dead
G
A silver bullet to my head
A D G D
They've been searching in the flowers and the weeds
D
They don't know the truth
G
I'm bringing back the joy of youth
A D G D
Drinking High Life from the bottle on the beach
[Chorus]
D
Cause I'd rather be depressed
G
In California
A D G D
Ocean's got the only blues I need
D
Lay me down to rest
G
In California
A D G D
Heart as cold as New Year's, NYC
D
Cause I'd rather be depressed
G
In California
A D G D
Finally I can find myself some peace
D
Lay me down to rest
G
In California
A D G D
Maybe I'll just end up on TV
D
One hundred thousand cigarettes
G
In California
A D G D
Still cleaner than the air I used to breathe
D
Cause I'd rather be depressed
G
In California
A D G D
Cause nothin else is good enough for me
