I  got a cottage with a sea  view
 I got a regular  summer tan
 I been working  up the courage to call  you all year  (oooh)
 But there are nothing  i can say  and there are no  good words left anyway
 Besides people  are cruel and the world  still moves without  you (Oooh)
Welcome  to my Californian  home
you  don't have to call  me you can
 leave when you want
 There's a picture  above my bed  and there's a light  in your eyes
 I don't know
 Well I don't know  whY you  still feel  alone
 And we were  dying from the get go
 I was dreaming  but you never believe
 I was trying  to fit myself  into spaces between  (Oooh)
 And you were kind  and sometimes cruel
 You said all  the worlds love couldn't  satisfy you
And  nothing coulda hurt  me as much as the truth  (Ooh, darlin)
Welcome  to my Californian  home
you  don't have to call  me you can
 leave when you  want
 There's a picture  above my bed  and there's a light  in your eyes
 I don't know
 but tell me coz I wanna find  out do you  still feel  alone
Love  is ellusive when you  search for it
 don't I know
Happiness  sometimes it  just creeps in
 don't I know it
 I'm going crazy I've been  wonderin do  you still feel  alone?
I  need to find  some  kind of peace  of mind
I  need to find
 I got a cottage  with a sea view
 I got a regular  summer tan
 I know  that I deserve more  but I still want you
Welcome  to my Californian  home
you  don't have to call  me you can
 leave when you want
 There's a picture  above my bed  and there's a light  in your eyes
 I don't knOW
 but tell me coz  I wanna find  out do you still  feel alone
Welcome  to my California
 (I need to find)
Even  though I&821[G]7;m no good for you
 (Some kind of peace of mind)
 There&8217;s[G] a part of [Am]me still waiting [G]for you
 (I need to find)
Welcome  to my happy  ending
 (I need to find)
Even  though it&[G]8217;s fun contending
 (Some kind of peace of mind)
I  know
 I know you can&82[G]17;t look [C]back, you c[G]an never [C]go back
Welcome  to my Californian  home
 You can never  go back
Welcome  to my Californian  home
 I know You  can never go back
Welcome  to my Californian  home
 I know You  can never go back
I  know I need to find  out, do  you still feel?
Welcome  to my Californian  home
 (I need to find)
Even  though I&821[G]7;m no good for you
 (Some kind of peace of mind)
Deep  inside there&8217;s[G] a piece of me, there[Am]’s a piece of me
 Still waiting  for you to come home
Welcome  to my Californian  home
 (I need to find)
 I know you can  never look back, you  can never look back again
 (Some kind of peace of mind)
But  tell me &8216;cause I wa[G]nt to find out
Do  you still feel  alone?
 Oh nooo
Do  you still feel  alone?
 Oh nooo
