Am   G  /

VERSE 1
Am           G          D/F#   D
Melon-rising California sun
Am            G             D/F#   D
Drifting in a day not yet begun
Am              G              D/F#   D
Six o'clock and peaceful and serene
Am            G           D/F#   D
Floating in a Technicolor scene

BRIDGE
F                                Em
Something nearly peaceful in the sound
F                           Em
Rising from the San Andreas ground
Eb                            Bb
Overground, it starts to feel strange
Eb                            Dm
Underground, it starts to rearrange

PD-C HORUS
F                 D/F#
 You'd better get up
    G         Eb/Ab
And run for a doorway
Am

No time for thinking

VERSE 2
Am            G         D/F#   D
Nonbelieving, everybody waits
Am              G           D/F#   D
Shifting on the continental plates
Am            G             D/F#   D
Thunder far below the ocean floor
Am               G               D/F#   D
Damned impartial sub-terrestrial war

BRIDGE
F                            Em
Wond'ring if you're going to survive
F                                      Em
God, it feels like eight point four or five
Eb                           Bb
Fifteen seconds holding your breath
Eb                           Dm
Living through a microscopic death

PD-C HORUS
F             D/F#
 You'd better hold on
    G           Eb/G#
The worst isn't over
