Intro: Cmadd9 | G#add9  } 4 times

Cmadd9
Psychic spies from China
       G#add9
Try to steal your mind’s elation,
    Cmadd9
And little girls from Sweden
         G#add9
Dream of silver screen quotations.
    D#                Bb
And if you want these kind of dreams
     G#       Fm
It’s Californication.

Instrumental: Cmadd9 | G#add9  } 2 times

        Cmadd9
It’s the edge of the world
           G#add9
And all of western civilization.
    Cmadd9
The sun may rise in the east;
            G#add9
At least it settles in the final location.
     D#              Bb
It’s understood that Hollywood
      G#       Fm
Sells Californication.

   Pay your surgeon very well
      G#maj
   To break the spell of aging.

   Celebrity skin, is this your chin
      G#maj
   Or is that war you’re waging?

Cmadd9
Marry me girl, be my fairy to the world,
      G#add9
Be my very own constellation,
  Cmadd9
A teenage bride with a baby inside
        G#add9
Getting high on information.
    D#                   Bb
And buy me a star on the boulevard.
     G#       Fm
It’s Californication.

Cmadd9
Space may be the final frontier,
         G#add9
But it’s made in a Hollywood basement.
    Cmadd9
And Cobain, can you hear the spheres
        G#add9
Singing songs off station to station?
    D#            Bb
And Alderon’s not far away;
     G#       Fm
It’s Californication.

   Born and raised by those who praise

   Control of population.

   Everybody’s been there and

   I don’t mean on vacation.

  Cmadd9
Destruction leads to a very rough road,
       G#add9
But it also breeds creation.
    Cmadd9
And earthquakes are, to a girl’s guitar,
        G#add9
They’re just another good vibration.
    D#                   Bb
And tidal waves couldn’t save the world
     G#       Fm
From Californication.
