Capo 1
DWe had a hail storm in California
ATurned the beaches into blankets of white
DAnd everybody took to the streets
ADancing and slipping on the ice
GBut you missed it all
DYeah you missed it all
Cause you're up flyinAg high somewhere
And now I'm getting tCo the point where I don't really care cause
DI can do what I want, I can make it aloneA  
AI can shake off the dust, got a heart of my ownG  
GIt ain't broken, it just needs a little mendingA  D  
DI can pick out the weeds, I can burn all the brushA  
AJust wanna be free from the carnival of usG  
GGonna find myself in all the timDe that we're not spendingC  E  G  
We had a 10 foot Dswell come into the coast
So we all Apaddled out to the break
But I just sat Dthere rolling with the sunset
With my thoughAts and my tears and my heartache
Am GI missed at all, am I missDed at all?
I may be oAut of sight and out of mind
But believe Cme when I tell you, baby, I'll be fine cause
DI can do what I want, I can make it aloneA  
AI can shake off the dust, got a heart of my ownG  
GIt ain't broken, it just needs a little mendingA  D  
DI can pick out the weeds, I can burn all the brushA

DI wanna get a wave that curls from here to MAexico
GAnd you can get all the girls that you've been misDsing
DI'm gonna be laying low, just feeling Athe breezes blow
GAnd baby you'll never know who I'll be kissingE  
DI can do what I want, I can make it aloneA

Capo 1

We had a hail storm in California

Turned the beaches into blankets of white

And everybody took to the streets

Dancing and slipping on the ice

But you missed it all

Yeah you missed it all

Cause you're up flying high somewhere

And now I'm getting to the point where I don't really care cause

D A

I can do what I want, I can make it alone

A G

I can shake off the dust, got a heart of my own

G A D

It ain't broken, it just needs a little mending

D A

I can pick out the weeds, I can burn all the brush

A G

Just wanna be free from the carnival of us

G D C E G

Gonna find myself in all the time that we're not spending

We had a 10 foot swell come into the coast

So we all paddled out to the break

But I just sat there rolling with the sunset

With my thoughts and my tears and my heartache

G D

Am I missed at all, am I missed at all?

I may be out of sight and out of mind

But believe me when I tell you, baby, I'll be fine cause

D A

I can do what I want, I can make it alone

A G

I can shake off the dust, got a heart of my own

G A D

It ain't broken, it just needs a little mending

D A

I can pick out the weeds, I can burn all the brush

A G

Just wanna be free from the carnival of us

G D C E G

Gonna find myself in all the time that we're not spending

D A

I wanna get a wave that curls from here to Mexico

G D

And you can get all the girls that you've been missing

D A

I'm gonna be laying low, just feeling the breezes blow

G E

And baby you'll never know who I'll be kissing

D A

I can do what I want, I can make it alone

A G

I can shake off the dust, got a heart of my own

G A D

It ain't broken, it just needs a little mending

D A

I can pick out the weeds, I can burn all the brush

A G

Just wanna be free from the carnival of us

G D C E G

Gonna find myself in all the time that we're not spending

D A

I can do what I want, I can make it alone

A G

I can shake off the dust, got a heart of my own

G A D

It ain't broken, it just needs a little mending

D A

I can pick out the weeds, I can burn all the brush

A G

Just wanna be free from the carnival of us

G D C E G

Gonna find myself in all the time that we're not spending
