Lorde - California Chords

[verse 1]
       D
Once upon a time in Hollywood
      A
When Carole called my name
        D
I stood up, the room exploded, and I
A                    E              D
Knew that’s it, I'll never be the same
                                A
That's when the doors swung open
                                 E
And the voice said: We're glad you came
               D
Now I've spent thousands on you, darling
        A
Oh, the hotels and the jets
        D
and I'd pay it all again
              A          E              D
To have your golden body back in my bed
                             A
But I don't miss the poison arrows aimed
              E
directly at my head

[pre-chorus]
           D                A
Goodbye to all the bottles, all the models
Bm
Bye to the clouds in the skies
                  E
that all hold no rain

[chorus]
                             D
Don't want that California love
                F#m        D
Don't want that California love
                 A     E     D
Don't want that California love

[verse 2]
          D
Oh, once upon a time the Canyon store
     A
Was where my world began
          D
All that mystery and beauty gleaned
     A                   E
from desert flowers and gifted children
D                      A
But it got hard to grow up
                             E
with your cool hand around my neck
          D             A
Now in my hometown, sunbathing
       D               A
My girlfriends and my baby
 E            D
But every time I smell tequila
                      E
The garden grows up in my mind again

[pre-chorus]
            D               A
Goodbye to all the bottles, all the models
Bm                                         E
Bye to the kids in the lines for the new Supreme

[chorus]
                             D
Don't want that California love
                F#m          D
Don't want that California love
                A    E       D
Don't want that California love
                F#m          D
Don't want that California love
                A    E       D
Don't want that California love
                F#m          D
Don't want that California love

[outro]
A   E              D
(Hmm) It's just a dream
A   E              D
(Hmm) It's just a dream
A   E              D
(Hmm) Said it's just a dream
A   E              D               A E
(Hmm) I wanna wake up, I wanna wake up
