[Verse 1]
G
  the world's standin' still
         C
On the 405
G
The vampires hang out
              D     Em D
On mullholand drive
G
  heart breaker smiles
               C
Everywhere you turn
G               D
  some learn to fly
               G
Some crash and burn


[Chorus]
         C
Yeah the sun still shines all the time
        G
And the sky's still blue
        Em
And the stars
             C
Shine bright every night
     D
Like they used to
        G
Oh, but it ain't california
    C            G
No, it ain't california
    Em           C
No, it ain't california
        G
Without you


[Verse 2]
G
  american girls
                  C
With those golden tans
G
  running down their dreams
              D    Em D
Buried in the sand
G
Still bettin' it all
                  C
On that hollywood sign
G                D
  hell, even the losers
              G
Get lucky sometimes


[Chorus]
         C
Yeah the sun still shines all the time
        G
And the sky's still blue
        Em
And the stars
             C
Shine bright every night
     D
Like they used to
        G
Oh, but it ain't california

[Verse 3]
G

                   C
The music keeps on goin'
G

                  D    Em D
To the great wide open
G
  me and mary jane
                  C

G                    D
  we're both free fallin'
            G
Without you here


[Chorus]

Yeah the sun still shines all the time
        G
And the sky's still blue

Shine bright every night
     D
Like they used to
        G
Oh, but it ain't california
