Verse 1:
       D
Once upon a time in Hollywood
      A
When Carol called my name
        D
I stood up, the room exploded, and I
  A               E
Knew that’s it, I'll never be the same
D
That's when the doors swung open
A                                E
And the voice said: We're glad you came
               D
Now I've spent thousands on you, darling
       A                           D
Oh, the hotels and the jets and I'd pay it all again
              A          E
To have your golden body back in my bed
D                              A                       E
But I don't miss the poison arrows aimed directly at my head
 
Pre-chorus:
           Bm               Gbm
Goodbye to all the bottles, all the models
D                         Gbm                   E
Back to the clouds in the skies in a whole new way
 
Chorus:
                             D
Don't want that California love
                 A     E     D
Don't want that California love
                 A     E
Don't want that California love
 
Verse 2:
         D
Oh, once upon a time the Canyon store
     A
Was where my world began
          D                              A                   E
All that mystery and beauty gleaned from desert flowers and gifted children
D                      A                                E
But it got hard to grow up with your cool hand around my neck
          D             A
Now in my hometown, sunbathing
       D               A
My girlfriends and my baby
 E            D
But every time I smell tequila
                      E
God, it goes up in my mind again
 
Pre-chorus:
            Bm                Gbm
Goodbye to all the bottles, all the models
D                       Gbm                  E
Back to the kids in the lines for the new Supreme
 
Chorus:
                             D
Don't want that California love
                 A     E     D
Don't want that California love
                 A     E     D
Don't want that California love
                 A     E     D
Don't want that California love
                 A     E     D
Don't want that California love
                 A     E     D
Don't want that California love
 
Outro:
A   E              D
(Hmm) It's just a dream
A   E              D
(Hmm) It's just a dream
A   E              D
(Hmm) Said it's just a dream
A   E              D               A E
(Hmm) I wanna wake up, I wanna wake up
