Intro: G#madd9 | Eadd9  } 4 times

G#madd9
Psychic spies from China
       Eadd9
Try to steal your mind’s elation,
    G#madd9
And little girls from Sweden
         Eadd9
Dream of silver screen quotations.
    B                 F#
And if you want these kind of dreams
     E        C#m
It’s Californication.

Instrumental: G#madd9 | Eadd9  } 2 times

        G#madd9
It’s the edge of the world
           Eadd9
And all of western civilization.
    G#madd9
The sun may rise in the east;
            Eadd9
At least it settles in the final location.
     B               F#
It’s understood that Hollywood
      E        C#m
Sells Californication.

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

Chorus:
  G#m               Emaj
     First born unicorn.

G#madd9
Marry me girl, be my fairy to the world,
      Eadd9
Be my very own constellation,
  G#madd9
A teenage bride with a baby inside
        Eadd9
Getting high on information.
    B                    F#
And buy me a star on the boulevard.
     E        C#m
It’s Californication.

G#madd9
Space may be the final frontier,
         Eadd9
But it’s made in a Hollywood basement.
    G#madd9
And Cobain, can you hear the spheres
        Eadd9
Singing songs off station to station?
    B             F#
And Alderon’s not far away;
     E        C#m
It’s Californication.

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

  G#madd9
Destruction leads to a very rough road,
       Eadd9
But it also breeds creation.
    G#madd9
And earthquakes are, to a girl’s guitar,
        Eadd9
They’re just another good vibration.
    B                    F#
And tidal waves couldn’t save the world
     E        C#m
From Californication.

   But this is what you’re craving.
