[Intro]
| A#m | F# | A#m | F# | x2
[Verse 1]
A#m
Psychic spies from China
F#
Try to steal your mind's elation
A#m
Little girls from Sweden
F#
Dream of silver screen quotations
C# G#
And if you want these kind of dreams
F# D#m
It's Californication
[Interlude]
| A#m | F# | A#m | F# |
[Verse 2]
A#m
It's the edge of the world
F#
And all of western civilization
A#m
The sun may rise in the East
F#
At least it settled in a final location
C# G#
It's understood that Hollywood
F# D#m
sells Californication
[Interlude]
| A#m | F#maj7 | A#m | F#maj7 |
[Pre-Chorus 1]
A#m
Pay your surgeon very well
F#maj7
To break the spell of aging
A#m
Celebrity skin, is this your chin?
F#maj7
Or is that war you're waging?
A#m F#maj7
First born unicorn
A#m F#maj7
Hardcore soft porn
[Chorus]
C# G# D#m A#m

[Verse 3]
A#m
Marry me girl, be my fairy to the world
F#
Be my very own constellation
A#m
A teenage bride with a baby inside
F#
Getting high on information
C# G#
And buy me a star on the boulevard
F# D#m
It's Californication
[Interlude]
| A#m | F# | A#m | F# |
[Verse 4]
A#m
Space may be the final frontier
F#
But it's made in a Hollywood basement
A#m
And Cobain can you hear the spheres
F#
Singing songs off station to station?
C# G#
And Alderaan's not far away
F# D#m
It's Californication
[Interlude]
| A#m | F#maj7 | A#m | F#maj7 |
Ooooo - ooooh Oooo - ooooh
[Pre-Chorus 2]
A#m
Born and raised by those who praise
F#maj7
Control of population
A#m
Everybody's been there and
F#maj7
I don't mean on vacation
A#m F#maj7
First born unicorn
A#m F#maj7
Hardcore soft porn

| A#m | F# | A#m | F# |
[Verse 5]
A#m
Destruction leads to a very rough road
F#
But it also breeds creation
A#m
And earthquakes are to a girl's guitar
F#
They're just another good vibration
C# G#
And tidal waves couldn't save the world
F# D#m
From Californication
[Interlude]
| A#m | F#maj7 | A#m | F#maj7 |
Ooooo - ooooh Oooo - ooooh
[Pre-Chorus 3]
A#m
Pay your surgeon very well
F#maj7
To break the spell of aging
A#m
Sicker than the rest, there is no test
F#maj7
But this is what you're craving
A#m F#maj7
First born unicorn
