Song: Losing California
Band: Sloan
CD: Between the Bridges, track 09, Murderecords, 1999
tuning: standard (EADGBe)

I'm not going to take credit for this, since I learned it from a tab by Adam Bishop. All I did was add the solo and change the chords to open chords, since that's how they played it on Open Mike and in the video.

A: x022x0
B: x244x0
C#: x466x0
D: xx0323
E: 022x00
Eb?: xx124x
E2: x79900

G: 3x0003
G#: 466xxx

Intro:   A      D     Eb?    E

Verse 1:
    A              G    D
You hit rock bottom and everybody knows it
A        Eb?          B       E
But does anybody care how you got there?
  A               G    D
Admit to yourself that eveything's a problem
A   Eb?                 B       E
But when it comes down, what do you care?

Chorus 1:
        A                 B        D
They're losing California, inch by inch, sit back and watch it go
A                B             D                   A
Coming in clearly, dance dance dance to the radio\

Verse 2 (same chords):
And everybody loves it but nobody knows what it stands for
Get into yourself in dark sunglasses and elevate it all 'till it means more

Chorus 2 (same chords):
And move out to California, inch by inch is all you need to go
Coming in clearly, dance dance dance to the radio

Bridge:
F#  E                                A                B
Sometimes it's too much, you want to get right out of your mind
F#  E                                 A               B
Sometimes it's too much. you're gonna go right out of your mind
