[(] P[Am]hycic spies from china
Try to [F]steal your mind's elation
[Am]Little girls from sweeden
Dream of [F]silver screen quotations
[C]And if you want these [G]kind of dreams
[F]It's californication.
[Am]It's the end of the world
And all of [F]western civilisation
[Am]The sun may rise in the East
At least it [F]settles in a final location
[C]It's understood that [G]Hollywood
Sell's [F]Californication)
start strumming straight after californication
[Am]Pay your Surgeon very well
To [F]break the spell of aging
[Am]Celebraty skin is this your chin
Or is [F]it that war your waging.

[Am]First born [F]unicorn
[Am]Hard core soft [F]porn
[C]Dream of cali[G]forni[F]cation
[C]Dream of cali[G]forni[F]cation
start picking again
[Am]Marry me girl be my fairy to the world
Be my [F]very own constellation
[Am]A tenage bride with a baby inside
getting [F]high on information
[C]And buy me a star from the [G]boulevard
It's [F]californication
[Am]Space may be the final frontier
But it's [F]made in a Hollywood basement
[Am]Cobain can you hear the spheres
Singing [F]song from station to station
[C]And alderaan's not [G]far away it's [F]californication
[Am]Born and raised by those who praise
cont[F]rol of population [Am]everybody's been there and
i do[F]n't mean on vacation

this bit returns to picking.
[Am]Destruction leads to a very rough road
But it [F]also breeds creation
[Am]And earthquakes are to a girl's guitar
They're [F]just another good vibration
[C]And tidal waves couldn't save the world
From [F]californication
[Am]Pay your surgeon very well
To [F]break the spell of aging
[Am]Sicker than the rest There is no test
But [F]this is what your craving
