[Intro]

D C G (x2)

[Verse]

D                                C   G
I was in the front seat of your car,
D                                             C
I didn't realize that the light was changing red
              G
Or your battle scars
              D
My heart was bleeding,
               C    G
Are you still believing?

[Chorus]

D                                C       G
California's gonna call my name again, again
F#m    G     Bm            A
Someday, somebody's gonna love you,
F#m    G     Bm            A
Someday, somebody's gonna care,
              D
But it ain't me
                            G  A  Bm  G
If you could breathe again,
G
Don't waste your breath on me.
           Bm                 A                  D
It's gonna hurt to call this off in the long run.
                            G  A  Bm  G
If you could breathe again,
G
don't let it be for me.
            Bm               A              G
Yeah, your heart will never feel the same again
G
Ow!

[Interlude]

D C G (x2)

[Verse]

N.C.
I was in the left lobes of my brain.
N.C.
I didn't realize I was thinking 'bout myself,
N.C.
And how much I've changed.
              D
My heart was fleeing
                C  G
Are you still believing?

[Chorus]

D                                C       G
California's gonna call my name again, again
F#m    G     Bm            A
Someday, somebody's gonna love you,
F#m    G     Bm            A
Someday, somebody's gonna care,
              D
But it ain't me
                            G  A  Bm  G
If you could breathe again,
G
Don't waste your breath on me.
           Bm                 A                  D
It's gonna hurt to call this off in the long run.
                        G  A  Bm  G
If you could see again,
G
don't even look at me.
            Bm               A              G
Yeah, your heart will never feel the same again.

[Bridge]

D                     G
Marilyn, I know you're feelin' this,
            Em
But I know you're scared to death,
   Bm                   A                D
Of what your heart, it wants to say, but,
D                     G
Marilyn, I know you're full of shit
               Em
'cause I know you're feelin' this.
            Bm               A              D
Yeah, your heart will never feel the same again.
                       G
Marilyn, I know you're feelin' this,
            Em
But I know you're scared to death
            Bm               A              D
Yeah, your heart will never feel the same again.
                       G
Marilyn, I know you're feelin' this,
            Em
But I know you're scared to death
         Bm             A            D*
My everything, my everything, my Marilyn.
