          E
My lover don't mind if
              F#m
I follow him 'round
               E
I'm high as a kite when I'm with him
           F#m
All of the time

E
He gives me the holiday
I needed all the time (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
F#m
Maybe this is temporary,
I don't even mind (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
      G#m                         C#
Now I don't hate California after all
       F#m                        B
Now I don't hate California after all

Chorus:
E
Love on the beach and the tide is high
F#m  B
Ooh, ooh
E
Moon in the water and the open sky
F#m  B
Ooh, ooh

And now that he noticed
I follow him 'round
He's all kinds of hardness and heartless
But I know he's down

He gives me the holiday
I needed all the time (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
Maybe this is temporary,
I don't even mind (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
Now I don't hate California after all
Now I don't hate California after all

Chorus

        C#m      B
I just wanna stay
                Bm        A
Another night, another day
                  C#m       B
We could wash the world away
                     A          B
We could play like children play

Chorus:
Love on the beach and the tide is high
(Love on the beach and the tide is high)
Ooh, ooh
Moon in the water and the open sky
(Moon in the water and the open sky)
Ooh, ooh
Love on the beach and the tide is high
(Love on the beach and the tide is high)
Ooh, ooh
Moon in the water and the open sky
(Moon in the water and the open sky)
Ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh
