F                                   Am
I'm about as small town as you can get 

I'm talkin two lanes one cop
F                               Am
Plowed up fields catching red sunsets 

We get nervous when the rain stops
F                      G        Am
Never had a reason to leave this place 
                       G    F
Never had a reason to get away


[Chorus]

           Am                        F
The wheels just touched down in California 
   C                       G
Man I don't even like to fly 
                                  Am                    F
I just gotta see her with the sun shining on her in the water 
       C                G
Chrome aviators on her eyes 
F                       G    Am
I never had a reason to get away
                        G        F
I never had a reason to see this place 

She gave me a reason to love L.A

F       Am      x2


[Verse 2]

F                                             Am
She said she had to be where that sun dropped down 

I'm talkin fast lane goodbye 
F                                             Am
She'd chase it all the way till that road ran out 

And parked it underneath the pink sky 
F                               G       Am
I wanna hear those waves come crashing in
                           G     F
I wanna feel that sand and that wind 

I wanna go everywhere she's been, hold her again


[Chorus]

      Am                             F
The wheels just touched down in California 
   C                       G
Man I don't even like to fly 
                                  Am                    F
I just gotta see her with the sun shining on her in the water 
       C                 G
Chrome aviators on her eyes 

Am      F       C       G

F                        G   Am
I never had a reason to get away
                        G       Dm
I never had a reason to see this place...


[Chorus]

           Am                        F
The wheels just touched down in California 
   C                       G
Man I don't even like to fly 
                                  Am                    F
I just gotta see her with the sun shining on her in the water 
       C                G
Chrome aviators on her eyes 
F                       G    Am
I never had a reason to get away
                        G        F
I never had a reason to see this place
