Uncommon amount of the time at home, hardly a word on the telephone.
D Em CFinally find the time to get to know you.
Still mapping it out like a master plan,
Csomething to do with my idle hands.
D Em CWrite you a letter addressed from California.

It's vivid and strong in my memory,
Can absence that smacks of abandoning.
D Em CIt let to the battle that ultimately destroyed us.
I'm nothing if I don't know your mistakes,
Cthe pill is as bitter as I can take.
D Em CIt twists like a blade when I leave for California.

I hope that you know this is killing me,
it's all in the name of the family.
D Em CWe only can play the cards the dealer dealt us.
G CThe end of the cycle is closing in, with you I see new hope begin again.
There suddenly seems to be promise in California.
As heavy as all this is weighing me,
Em Dbelieve in the words I am promising.
C B A GI'm still here for her.
The distance is only an obstacle,
Em Dhardly a match for a miracle.
C B A GI'm finally ready to go to California.
