sells Californication

To break the spell of aging

F#m
Space may be the final frontier

Singing songs off station to station?

And Alderaan's not far away

Destruction leads to a very rough road

But it also breeds creation

They're just another good vibration

And tidal waves couldn't save the world
D Bm
From Californication
