I prefer playing barre chords for the Ab, Am, and G in the intro.

Intro: C - F - Ab (x1) 
         C - F - Am - G (x1) 



verse 1: 
 C      G                         F 
Well, I know it's all been said before 
              C                G 
But that will not stop me from trying 
     F        C        G                       Em - Dm 
To explain to you everything I said is true, yeah 
                         Em    F      G 
You know you light up my whole world 



Chorus: 
                    C                 F 
I thought I lost my heart way back in Florida 
                       Am          
Then I found it in California 
                          F 
I guess that's how things go 
                    C                     F 
Cause no one really knows what life's got for ya 
                            Am 
You better hire a real good lawyer 
                        F           G          C 
And take things as they come in the California sun 



verse 2: 
           G                              Em - F 
Yeah, I consider myself one of the lucky ones 
          C                  G 
And every night I praise his name 
     Em - F        C 
I'm not ashamed to say 
         G                     Dm 
You have made me want to change 
                         Em    F      G 
You know you light up my whole world 



Chorus: 
                    C                 F

                       Am 
Then I found it in California 
                          F 
I guess that's how things go 
                    C                        F 
Cause no one really knows what God's planned for ya 
                            Am 
You better hire a real good lawyer 
                        F           G          C 
And take things as they come in the California sun 



Bridge: 
F                        C 
Oh, she makes me want to change 
                     F 
She makes me want to change 
C                          F 
Yeah, she makes me want to change 
                     C 
She makes me want to change 
                     F 
She makes me want to change, yeah
