              Dadd9                            D        (rif da intro)
They're playin' guitars with stars their eyes on Broadway
                 D                                          G
They're just paying their dues and waitin' for news on a big break
                    Bm
I wish you were here
        A
Cuz sometimes I get lonely
     G                 Bm
Guess I'm not the only new girl in town

          G        D          A
Momma I promise I'll be alright
                         Bm
I'll call to say I love you every night
       G                D              A
I'm just tryin' to write the story my life
        G                 D              A
You know all about this dream I gotta chase
                 Bm
I get a little closer everyday
    G               D        A
California is not that far away
I'm not that far away

            Dadd9                                      D
There's so many new faces and beautiful places in this town
          D                                       G
I'm learnin' the ropes on this crazy road I'm goin' down
                 Bm
I'm makin' my way
          A
No one said that it'd be easy
     G
Trust me believe me
      Bm
I'm where I belong

                 Bm
I get a little closer everyday
   G                 D        A
California is not that far away

I'm not that far away

  G              Bm
We're miles apart
                 G
But you're in my heart
                       A
I keep you with me everywhere I go
