C G They're playin' guitars with stars their eyes on Broadway C G They're just paying their dues and waitin' for news on a big break Am I wish you were here Cuz sometimes I get lonely C F Guess I'm not the only new girl in town F C G Momma I promise I'll be alright Am F I'll call to say I love you every night C G F I'm just tryin' to write the story my life C G You know all about this dream I gotta chase Am F I get a little closer everyday C G California is not that far away C I'm not that far away
