[Verse 1]
B G#m E
Hello, my name is your TV
C#m B G#m E
We've been together so long, so many memories
C#m B G#m E
We've solved so many problems, situated comedies
C#m B
I fed you ads and movie stars
G#m E C#m
And you always fell asleep in my color bars
[Chorus]

G#m F# B
But there's this world outside where the writing's off
E*
Scenes last too long and you lose the plot
G#m F# B
All the girls they lie and they break your heart
E*
And nothing's done when the street goes dark
G#m F# B E*
Here see California, where pretty people dream
G#m F# E
And the good guy gets the girl by the sunny sea
[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
B G#m E
And when they'd yell upstairs you'd cry
C#m B G#m E C#m
Little boy inside their lies, in the dark I'd watch your eyes
B G#m E C#m B
And I know the way they laugh, the jackals feast behind your back
G#m E
Here you hide, but still they stab
C#m
In the dark I feel you die
[Chorus]
G#m F# B
But there's this world outside where the writing's off
E*
Scenes last too long and you lose the plot
G#m F# B
All the girls they lie and they break your heart
E*
And nothing's done when the street goes dark
G#m F# B E*
Here see California, where pretty people dream
[Bridge]
G#m F# B E*
Now see that icy vacant lot where they made your nose bleed
G#m F# B E*
The flannel spread, the heater on, the world is dead
G#m F# B
The sun is gone, you take my hand, I'll take you home
E*
You'll never have to be alone
G#m F# B E*
The pictures warping slowly, the scrolling seems unending
G#m F# B E
The snowy edges blurring, the bars between us bending
G#m F# B E*
Feel you start to breathe, you are alive inside of me
G#m F# B E*
Forever tan and strong and loved, you'll never bleed again
G#m F# B E*
In dreamy California scenes where bad guys meet their destiny
G#m F# E
And the good guy gets the girl by the sunny sea
[Outro]
