Capo 3rd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

 The sound of my voice picking up the phone

 Telling lies, telling friends that I am not at home

 I'm not ready for a smile just yet

 My brave face will have to wait

 Another week, I guess

 'Cause right now I'm down

 Kind of like California

 One thing after another

 Has taken its toll on me

 The fires are burning

 Now here come the winds of change

 But kind of like California I'll come around again

 Ice cold coffee, papers by the door

 Some other things you wanted once

 That you don't want no more

 Silence surrounds me just like an ocean tide

 But I believe that's what I need

 So I'm a little hard to find

 The fires are burning

 Now here come the winds of change

 Kind of like California I'll come around again
