Am                                F 
Psychic spies from China try to steal your mind's elation
    Am                                 F
And little girls from Sweden dream of silver screen quotations
    C                 G
And if you want these kind of dreams
     F        Dm
It's Californication

It's the edge of the world and all of Western civilization
    Am                                      F
The sun may rise in the East at least it settles in the final location
     C               G
It's understood that Hollywood
      F        Dm
sells Californication

[Interlude]

Pay your surgeon very well to break the spell of aging
    Am                              Fmaj7
Celebrity skin is this your chin or is that war you're waging

   Hardcore soft po-orn

Marry me girl be my fairy to the world be my very own constellation
  Am                                         F
A teenage bride with a baby inside getting high on information

Space may be the final frontier but it's made in a Hollywood basement
    Am                                        F
And Cobain can you hear the spheres singing songs off "Station to Station"?
     C             G
And Alderaan's not far away
     F        Dm
It's Californication

Destruction leads to a very rough road but it also breeds creation
    Am                                          F
And earthquakes are to a girl's guitar they're just another “Good Vibration”
