Intro: F#madd9 | Dadd9  } 4 times

F#madd9
Psychic spies from China
       Dadd9
Try to steal your mind’s elation,
    F#madd9
And little girls from Sweden
         Dadd9
Dream of silver screen quotations.
    A                 E
And if you want these kind of dreams
     D        Bm
It’s Californication.

Instrumental: F#madd9 | Dadd9  } 2 times

        F#madd9
It’s the edge of the world
           Dadd9
And all of western civilization.
    F#madd9
The sun may rise in the east;
            Dadd9
At least it settles in the final location.
     A               E
It’s understood that Hollywood
      D        Bm
Sells Californication.

   F#m
   Pay your surgeon very well
      Dmaj
   To break the spell of aging.
     F#m
   Celebrity skin, is this your chin
      Dmaj
   Or is that war you’re waging?

Chorus:
  F#m               Dmaj
     First born unicorn.
  F#m                Dmaj
     Hard core soft porn.
     A            E7   Bm      F#m
     Dream of Californication.

F#madd9
Marry me girl, be my fairy to the world,
      Dadd9
Be my very own constellation,
  F#madd9
A teenage bride with a baby inside
        Dadd9
Getting high on information.
    A                    E
And buy me a star on the boulevard.
     D        Bm
It’s Californication.

Instrumental: F#madd9 | Dadd9  } 2 times

F#madd9
Space may be the final frontier,
         Dadd9
But it’s made in a Hollywood basement.
    F#madd9
And Cobain, can you hear the spheres
        Dadd9
Singing songs off station to station?
    A             E
And Alderon’s not far away;
     D        Bm
It’s Californication.

   F#m
   Born and raised by those who praise
       Dmaj
   Control of population.
   F#m
   Everybody’s been there and
     Dmaj
   I don’t mean on vacation.

Chorus:

  F#madd9
Destruction leads to a very rough road,
       Dadd9
But it also breeds creation.
    F#madd9
And earthquakes are, to a girl’s guitar,
        Dadd9
They’re just another good vibration.
    A                    E
And tidal waves couldn’t save the world
     D        Bm
From Californication.

   Sicker than the rest, there is no test,
       Dmaj
   But this is what you’re craving.
