Capo 1

[Verse]

             C
Carolina,
                  F                     C                        G                     Am
I've been looking for the time to tell you nothing feels the same since I
                 F                            C
moved back from where you are.
                            C
Words don't line up.
          F                    C                            G                Am
Every time I try to lay them down, the godforsaken page rips out, and
 F                   C
tears up into parts.
       F     G             C
I'm tearing into parts.

        C                              F                           C                       G
'So hallelujah' reads the church sign on the sidewalk now I pass along
      Am                            F                      C
the five blocks to the amber colored door.
               C               F                    C
What's it to you if I still believe in magic;
               G                Am                                 F
See the beauty in our tragic and want to feel like there's something
  C
more?

[Chorus]
            G                     Am                       F                     C
Since I told you that I love you and you said that isn't true,
                       G                       Am                   F                     C
Because you treat love like a firework just to keep the sky a muse.
                  G                     Am                 F                               C
You might find that given time, The fire burns right down the fuze,
                      G
and you still stand too close.


C
California,
                              F                     C                     G                Am
You can leave the money on the table and the silver and the halos of
        F                   C
the angels in her sky.
             C
But I adore you.
             F                      C                            G                   Am
so I'm getting on this train home and I'm letting all these stars go,
          F                             C
I'm sleeping through the night.


[Chorus]
             G                     Am                      F                        C
Since I told you that I love you and you said it might be true,
              G                     Am                      F                        C
But you treat love like a firework just to keep the sky amused.
                  G                   Am                                F                 C
You might find that over time, and once the fire burns the fuze,
               G
you still stand too close.

        G              Am                             F                        C
If I said again I love you, Would you say you know it's true?
             G                      Am                    F                        C
We can treat love like a firework just to keep the sky amused.
                        G                     Am                F                               C
And we might find that given time, the fire burns right down the fuze,
                  G
But I'm still standing close.
