Verse 1
EmDCG
Try'na set myself up for the win
(G) EmDCG
So people got a dream that's so much bigger than the town they're in
(G) EmDCG
So give me love, give me love, give me peace, give me peace of mind
(G) EmDCG
I know that there's an ought to a start and I need a little help with mine
Pre-Chorus
(Palm muted, you'll hear it in the song)
EmDCG
California, don't let me down
EmDCG
Seems so golden, but there's struggle all around
EmDCG
Sunset Jesus, came to me
EmDCG
He once was waiter, now he's a savior making money on the 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
EmDCG
My dreams are made of gold
EmDCG
My heart's been broken and I'm down along the road
(G) EmDCG
But I know, my dreams keep fading til I get old
EmDCG
Breathe for a minute, breathe for a minute, I'll be okay
Break
(The break is thrice as long, so for acoustic purposes I've shortened it)

Staring at the billboard from the bus

Cause I know one day, I will be the one in the sky
