I knew that this was wrong as I
stood reaching for the bedroom light
Dm
But she turned me on, so I turned it off
F
Now every man has got his flaws
his breaking point, his sacred cause
Dm
And I had mine, but I crossed that line
Bb
Now I could never ask you to
Gm
Forgive me for the things I do
Eb
But if you ever need me
C
You know where I'll be
F
Meet me in California
DmBb
I'll be there waiting for your call
Bbm
I'll be there waiting for you
F
Cause you know in California
DmBb
There's something better for us all
Bbm
Meet me in California

F
This night was like a bible Verse
with pages torn and missing words
Dm
Condemning me, and I'm on my knees
F
I wish that I could start again
peel the past like sunburned skin

Right off of me, but it’s not that easy
Bb
Now I could never ask you to

Forgive me for the things I do
