                             C#
I've been dreaming about the West Coast
(I've been dreaming)
                          A
Found some places that I don't know 
(I've been dreaming about)
            F#m
Give me the sun for just a year
               G#
I'll kiss the sky and disappear

                  C#m
I've been starin' up at the grayest skies
                        A
Tryna find myself some luck but it's running dry
                           F#m
Like the weather makes the worst in my cloudy mind
                     G#
I could really use a dose and some paradise
                    C#m
Sometimes you gotta run from my broken heart
                       A
Before I turn into a ghost, need a brand new start
                         F#m
Got myself headed to the coast and it ain't that far
                    G#
And they got some L.A. and some shining stars

Chorus:
                             C#
I've been dreaming about the West Coast
(I've been dreaming)
                          A
Found some places that I don't know
(I've been dreaming about)
           F#m
I see your signs for California
            G#
Change the shade for something warmer
                             C#m
I've been dreaming about the West Coast
(I've been dreaming)
                           A
Where the people take you real slow
(I've been dreaming about)
            E
I need the sun for just a year
               G#
I'll kiss the sky and disappear

             C#m
Ain't felt a drop now for forty days
                            A
But still, they're washin' cars and they don't show any age
                         F#m
Ain't nothing that you'd wanna cost you more than time
                         G#
If you're tryna find yourself, better get in line
  C#m
I counted up my money and spendin' to get it right
         A
Got the future in my pocket, I'm spendin' it all a night
          E
Like a prophet with the vision, I finally see the light
         G#
And you know

Chorus

    C#
The West Coast (Ah-ah)
                         A
Follow the star in the skies (Ah-ah)
                F#m
I wanna do this right
                               G#
(Take me) Where the sun shines
