        D#m
Running from the night
         B                          G#m B
I drove miles away to finally feel alone
           D#m
There's no moon in sight
         B                                    G#m B
But the desert lights could lead the way back home

           D#m
I'm in the moment
             B
Living undercover
                 G#m
Painting on each other
All the colors
B                 D#m
I can't get enough
             B
California dreaming's
               G#m
Never what it seems but
Here it comes
    B
I know what I must do now

Chorus:
  D#m
I need it (da, da, da, da, da, da)
   B
I feel it (da, da, da, da, da, da)
  G#m
I see it (da, da, da, da, da, da)
  D#m
I know it (da, da, da, da, da, da,
                 B
da, da, da, da, da, da)
  B
I own it (da, da, da, da, da, da)
  G#m
I show it (da, da, da, da, da, da,
da, da, da, da, da, da)

Give me paradise
I'll eclipse the stars and
fall like ones before (Ah, ah)
I'm like Aphrodite
And it's fine to only know
the things I know (Ah, ah)

I'm in the moment,
livin' undercover, paintin' on each other
All the colors, I can't get enough
California dreaming's never what it seems, but
Here it comes, I know what I must do now

Chorus

D#m             B
I'm feeling dramatic
                        G#m
I like the moon and the magic
Of this
       B        D#m
Oh, I, Oh, I, Oh
                B
I'm feeling dramatic
                        G#m
I like the moon and the magic
Of this
       B        D#m
Oh, I, Oh, I, Oh
