Verse. 

B            A
The sun goes down for the summer 
B       A
Mirror sky for the water 
B        A              E
And I am fading westward too
                B
Fading west with you 

B          A
Life won't sing like I want it
B           A
The traffic post-modern sonnet
B           A             E
The traffic hums a dirty tune
            B
Fading west with you 


Chorus. 

B                                            E
I'm heading back to the west coast where I'm from
B                                            E
I'm heading back to the left coast where I belong
G#m         F#               E
California's calling me back home

Fading west with you

Verse 

B       A
Keep my mind over matter 
B              A
Cos' I've seen my hopes shatter
B            A                   E
They told me lies I thought were true
            B
Fading west with you


Pre-Chorus.

A
The sun goes down
G#m
We were already gone


Chorus. 

B                                            E
I'm heading back to the west coast where I'm from
B                                            E
I'm heading back to the left coast where I belong
G#m          F#              E
California's calling me back home
                B
I'm fading west with you!



Bridge.

D#                G#m
When you know I'm alone
E
Feel like I'm caving in
D#                G#m
When you leave me alone 
           E
I start to wonder 
      F#     E     F#                 B
Where have I been, where have I been?



Chorus. 

B                                            E
I'm heading back to the west coast where I'm from
B                                            E
I'm heading back to the left coast where I belong
G#m         F#               E
California's calling me back home


(California waters bit stays on G#m - F# - E progression I believe)
