[Intro]
G   Cmaj7
 
 
[Verse 1]
         G                       Gmaj7
Passin' ’round a fifth where the cops couldn't find us
         G                         Gmaj7
Sneakin' Prime Times just to catch a midnight buzz
   Cmaj7                                            G
Burnin’ that gas 'til the last truck was runnin' on fumes
                          Gmaj7
Cotton on a limb by the Honey Run River
G                                Gmaj7
Jordans on the bank while you're jumpin' in with her
        Cmaj7                                         Gmaj7
Talkin' them six-strings, and it gettin' me out there soon
 
 
[Chorus]
         Cmaj7
All them days were like waves
                   G
Yeah, they rolled, didn't know just how fast they would go
        Cmaj7
All the nights, paradise
        G
We were young, we were dumb, burnin’ hot like the sun
        Em                       Bm                        Am
And you can’t put a price on the good times that never get old
           Gmaj7
California gold
           Cmaj7
California gold
 
 
[Verse 2]
G
Can't beat the view or the girls or the weather
G
Ain’t it a shame you can't stay young forever?
      Cmaj7
Those three little words almost turned this Honda around
G
Wonder what she's doin' now
 
 
[Chorus]
         Cmaj7
All them days were like waves
                   G
Yeah, they rolled, didn't know just how fast they would go
        Cmaj7
All the nights, paradise
        G
We were young, we were dumb, burnin’ hot like the sun
        Em                       Bm                        Am
And you can’t put a price on the good times that never get old
           Gmaj7
California gold
        Cmaj7 G
California    gold
 
 
[Guitar Solo]
G   Cmaj7
 
 
[Bridge]
Cmaj7
Always right there in the back of my mind
     Em7
Them take-you-back-home roads get to rewindin'
Cmaj7                               Am7
Me right back to that old silver linin'
 
 
[Out-Chorus]
         Cmaj7
All them days were like waves
                   G
Yeah, they rolled, didn't know just how fast they would go
        Cmaj7
All the nights, paradise
        Gmaj7
We were young, we were dumb, burnin’ hot like the sun
        Em                       Bm                        Am7
And you can’t put a price on the good times that never get old
           Gmaj7
