Bbm
Psychic spies from China
       F#
Try to steal your mind’s elation,
    Bbm
And little girls from Sweden
         F#
Dream of silver screen quotations.
    C#                G#
And if you want these kind of dreams
     F#       D#m
It’s Californication.

        Bbm
It’s the edge of the world
           F#
And all of western civilization.
    Bbm
The sun may rise in the east;
            F#
At least it settles in the final location.
     C#              G#
It’s understood that Hollywood
      F#       D#m
Sells Californication.

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

Chorus:
  Bbm               F#
     First born unicorn.
  Bbm                F#
     Hard core soft porn.

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

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

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

Chorus:

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

   But this is what you’re craving.
