[Verse 1]
G                     D
  There were still entire empires
     A                 Em   
  of California highway
                         G     D   A
  I wanted to share with you.
G                      D
  There were still foothills and fires,
      A                        Em
  and breakdowns on the runways,
                       G     D   A
  I wanted to run with you.

[Chorus 1]
G       D               A
  Lost stars are coming on
G       D             A
  Lost causes calling on

[Verse 2]
G              D
  I was second college bound,
      A                        Em
  and dreaming of what could be,
                       G      D   A
  wanting to move with you.
G                   D
  Watching concrete island towns,
       A                       Em
  and skyways full of palm trees
                         G     D  A
  and walking along with you.

[Chorus 2]
G       D               A
  Lost stars are coming on
G       D             A
  Lost causes calling on
G       D               A
  Lost stars are coming on
G       D              A
  Lost causes calling on

  I found you like a culinary gem
                   A
  in a stucco-pink strip mall,
          Bm                  
  I found you as the curtain's coming
  Em                   A
  down on a melancholy romcom.

          G                  
  I found you as the curtain's coming
  D                   A
  down on a melancholy romcom.
