Intro: D#madd9 | Badd9  } 4 times

D#madd9
Psychic spies from China
       Badd9
Try to steal your mind’s elation,
    D#madd9
And little girls from Sweden
         Badd9
Dream of silver screen quotations.
    F#                C#
And if you want these kind of dreams
     B        G#m
It’s Californication.

Instrumental: D#madd9 | Badd9  } 2 times

        D#madd9
It’s the edge of the world
           Badd9
And all of western civilization.
    D#madd9
The sun may rise in the east;
            Badd9
At least it settles in the final location.
     F#              C#
It’s understood that Hollywood
      B        G#m
Sells Californication.

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

Chorus:
  D#m               Bmaj
     First born unicorn.
  D#m                Bmaj
     Hard core soft porn.

D#madd9
Marry me girl, be my fairy to the world,
      Badd9
Be my very own constellation,
  D#madd9
A teenage bride with a baby inside
        Badd9
Getting high on information.
    F#                   C#
And buy me a star on the boulevard.
     B        G#m
It’s Californication.

D#madd9
Space may be the final frontier,
         Badd9
But it’s made in a Hollywood basement.
    D#madd9
And Cobain, can you hear the spheres
        Badd9
Singing songs off station to station?
    F#            C#
And Alderon’s not far away;
     B        G#m
It’s Californication.

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

Chorus:

  D#madd9
Destruction leads to a very rough road,
       Badd9
But it also breeds creation.
    D#madd9
And earthquakes are, to a girl’s guitar,
        Badd9
They’re just another good vibration.
    F#                   C#
And tidal waves couldn’t save the world
     B        G#m
From Californication.

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