Verse 1:
    E       Gb      A         B
The more I try to catch your eye
    E       Gb      A
The less I seem to hesitate
    E     Gb        A         B
But every time you cross my mind
    E         Gb      A
The words come out in figure 8's
 
Pre-chorus:
Gb             A                 E
I…need to let go of everything
          Gb              A
Ooh, it's getting hard to fight the feeling
 
Chorus:
A          E
She's your girl
B                 Dbm
She's in all your pictures
A         E      B            Dbm
California girl, I wish I was her
A           E
When you're gone
B                  Dbm
She sleeps in your t-shirts
A    E       B            Dbm
   It hurts, I wish I was her
    E        Gb      A
Ms. California
    E        Gb      A
Ms. California
 
Verse 2:
  E         Gb        A        B
I love your voice but hate the way
    E       Gb      A
You talk of her consistently
    E     Gb       A       B
But every time you say her name
E     Gb          A
   It honestly kills me
 
Pre-chorus:
Gb             A                 E
I need to let go of everything
          Gb              A
Ooh, it's getting hard to fight the feeling
 
Chorus:
A          E
She's your girl
B                 Dbm
She's in all your pictures
A         E      B            Dbm
California girl, I wish I was her
A          E
When you're gone
B                  Dbm
She sleeps in your t-shirts
A    E        B            Dbm
   It hurts, I wish I was her
    Dbm       B     A
Ms. California

And everything's better in California
