Intro: G C D C G 

Verse: 
        G               C 
I'm not sorry I fell in love  
            D                    C     G 
And I'm not sorry that you never cared enough  
          G                     C 
It's just motion, and it's just time  
          D                              C                G 
And every day we find ourselves a little further down the line

             C    G      C  G 
I'm going to California- by myself  
    C         G          Em      D 
The next time you see me I'll be someone else  
               C            G 
There ain't no gates around heaven,  
         C           G 
Ain't no gates round hell  
         C             G                 Em           D 
Just the sunset in the distance, and the dark on it's tail  

Verse: 
I did right, and I did wrong  
And you did too, but that's not why I'm gone  
It's just motion, and it's just time  
And every day we find ourselves a little further down the line  

Chorus: 
I'm going to California- by myself  
The next time you see me I'll be someone else  
There ain't no gates around heaven,  
Ain't no gates round hell  
Just the sunset in the distance, and the dark on it's tail  

Bridge: 

           Em  C           G                  D 
So this is it- this is the last song that you get  
         Em               C 
A little sad, but we move on  
                G              D 
Soon I'll sing someone else's song  
              Em      C 
My sheets are clean  
           G     D 
My mind at ease  
                Em                C                  G                 D 
Here's a little something for the road, soon I'll be someone you don't know  


Chorus: 

I'm going to California- by myself  
The next time you see me I'll be someone else  
There ain't no gates around heaven,  
Ain't no gates round hell  
Just the sunset in the distance, and the dark on it's tail
