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

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

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

Chorus:
  Cm                G#
     First born unicorn.
  Cm                 G#
     Hard core soft porn.

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

Cm
Space may be the final frontier,
         G#
But it’s made in a Hollywood basement.
    Cm
And Cobain, can you hear the spheres
        G#
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
       G#
   Control of population.
   Cm
   Everybody’s been there and
     G#
   I don’t mean on vacation.

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

   But this is what you’re craving.
