[Intro]
x 2
[Verse 1]
[Em]Try'na set my[D]self up for the [C]win[G]
[(G)]So people got a [Em]dream that's so much [D]bigger than the town they're [C]in[G]
[(G)]So give me [Em]love, give me love, give me [D]peace, give me peace of [C]mind[G]
[(G)]I know that there's an [Em]ought to a start and I [D]need a little help with [C]mine[G]
[Pre-Chorus] (Palm muted, you'll hear it in the song)
Cali[Em]fornia, [D]don't let me d[C]own[G]
Seems so g[Em]olden, [D] but there's [C]struggle all [G]around
Sunset J[Em]esus, [D] came to [C]me[G]
He o[Em]nce was waiter, n[D]ow he's a savior making [C]money on the [G]street
(At this point, the chords change rhythm into Em D Em C G,
but for simplicity's sake, I've kept them the same till the breaks)
[Chorus]
[Em] My dreams are [D]made of [C]gol[G]d
[Em] My heart's been [D]broken and I'm [C]down along the [G]road
[(G)]But I know,[Em] my dreams keep [D]fading [C]til I get [G]old
[Em] Breathe for a minute, b[D]reathe for a minute, [C]I'll be o[G]kay
[Break] (The break is thrice as long, so for acoustic purposes I've shortened it)
x 4
[Verse 3]
[Em]Staring at the [D]billboard from the [C]bus[G]
Looking at the [Em]faces, thinking that could [D]be anyone of [C]us[G]
So give me [Em]hope, give me hope, give me [D]hope on this lonely [C]ride[G]
Cause I [Em]know one day, I will [D]be the one in the [C]sky[G]
