A                               E      Bm
Cashin' in my chips for forgiveness
A                               E     Bm
Trading in my shame for perspective
A                                E     Bm
Tired of bein' known for my sickness
     A                                     E    Bm
It didn't work, I'm tryin' something different, I

 D
Healing got me lookin' for freedom
 E
Happiness it used to be fleeting
F#m
History was always repeating
C#m
Not anymore

Chorus:
     A               E
I'm California sober
                              A
It doesn't have to mean the growin' part is over
E                                 A
No, it ain't black or white, it's all of the colors
       E
That I only just discovered
         A
Now I'm California sober
 E
California sober (Ahh, I)

Used to live in fear of always slipping
But living for perfection isn't living, I
I ran a little slower, now I'm tripping, I
A beautiful and magical beginning, I

Healing got me lookin' for freedom
Happiness, it used to be fleeting
History was always repeating
Not anymore

Chorus:
I'm California sober
It doesn't have to mean the growin' part is over
No, it ain't black or white, it's all of the colors
That I only just discovered
Now I'm California sober
California sober

F#m      E
Trading judgment for freedom
A                Bm
Found somethin' new to believe in
F#m          E
Somethin' inside of me screaming
  A           Bm         F#m
"Don't be so hard on yourself"
          E
Look up, somethin' has shifted
A         Bm
My heavy spirit is lifted
F#m E      D
I found myself

Chorus:
I'm California sober
It doesn't have to mean the growin' part is over
No, it ain't black or white,
it's all of the colors (Yeah, yeah)
That I only just discovered
Now I'm California sober
California sober
I, California sober, I
California sober
