Tuning: Normal

First of all,
B7 Em
I'd like to thank you for accepting this collect call
C G
And tell you what you're about to hear is sincere

G B7
I don't expect you to bail me out again
Em C
But right now girl, you're my only friend
G B7 Em
It's true, I did you wrong, for way too long

But that's the past so lets move on

In the California sun
