Chorus:
E              Emaj7        C#m7        Amaj9
Can't get your name past my lips like a slur
        E          Emaj7         C#m7    Amaj9
And I think I'm in love with the idea of her
 E         Emaj7    E   Amaj9
Lie in the morning aurora
      E        Emaj7    E  Amaj9
What time is it in California?

C#m7         C#m7              C#m7 
Throwing up brains through my mouth
           C#m7        Amaj9           E 
Yeah, I'm thinking out loud things we won't
       Amaj9
talk about
C#m7          C#m7         C#m7         C#m7   Amaj7
Remember the time that we snuck in her house?
            E       Amaj9
They don't want me around, but

Chorus:
   E              Emaj7        C#m7        Amaj9
I can't get your name past my lips like a slur
        E           Emaj7        C#m7    Amaj9
And I think I'm in love with the idea of her
E         Emaj7     E   Amaj9
Cry like annoying cicada
      E        Emaj7    E    Amaj9
What time is it in California?

GMT minus eight and I'm staying up late
With your face in my head like a drone
If I don't want anyone, then why do I feel so alone?
I'll reach out if you don't, 'cause

Chorus:
I can't get your name past my lips like a slur
And I think I'm in love with the idea of her
Lie in the morning aurora
What time is it in California?
Can't get your name past my lips like a slur
And I think I'm in love with the idea of her
Cry like annoying cicada
What time is it in California?
