Tom: F
Dm Am
I'm coming home from my hardest year
Dm Am
I'm making plans not to make plans while I'm here
[Pre-Chorus]
Dm C G Am G
And this life has been no holiday, a complicated situation
Dm C G Am G
I'm fine with all my memories, still I could use vacation
[Chorus]
F C G Am
It's Christmas in California
G F C G Am G F
And it's hard to ignore that it feels like summer all the time
C G Am G
But I'll take a west coast winter to
F C G Dm
remove my splinters; it's good to be alive
Am Dm Am
it's good to be alive
[Verse]
Dm Am
I'm coming home to the lights and buzz
Dm Am
Streets look the same, still nothing's as it was
[Pre-Chorus]
Dm C G Am G
This place is paradise I'm sure, here's my reservation
Dm C G Am G
I've gotten lost here once before inside a good vibration
[Chorus]
F C G Am
It's Christmas in California
G F C G Am G F
And it's hard to ignore that it feels like summer all the time
C G Am G
But I'll take a west coast winter to
F C G
remove my splinters,
Dm C G
it's good to be alive
Dm C G
It's good to be alive
Dm C G Am G F
E|t's| good to be ali----------ve
[Bridge]
C Gm
And time, time it stops for no one
F C
The seasons come and go and that's just time
Gm
Yeah time it stops for no one
F
The seasons keep on going
Am/C
Whether or not we're blind
C Gm F C/E
[Chorus]
F C G Am
It's Christmas in California
G F C G Am G F
And it's hard to ignore that it feels like summer all the time
C G Am G
But I'll take a west coast winter to
F C G
remove my splinters,
Dm C G
it's good to be alive
Dm C G
It's good to be alive
Dm C G Am G F
E|t's| good to be ali-------------ve
