[Intro]  A  Em  D 

A      Em      D     A
I stay hig.....h all the time
Em       D        A
Jus......t to get by
  Em       D          A
I clim.....b into the sky
       Em      D       A
And my eye.....s, they cry
A
California nights
        Em      D             A
Make me feel so happy I could die
      Em      D
But I tr......y
      A
Still I

  G
I never wanna get so high
That I can't come back down to real life
And look you in the eyes and say
            A
Baby, you're mine
Fading back and forth 
  Em      D            A
I fl......y through my mind
  Em     D                 A
I tak....e the weight I've known
         Em    D        A
But have I...... really grown?

A
California nights
        Em      D             A
Make me feel so happy I could die
      Em      D
But I tr......y
      A
Still I

        G
I never wanna get so high
That I can't come back down to real life
And look you in the eyes and say
            A
Baby, you're mine
