Melissa Etheridge – Miss California chords

[Intro]

A  Riff x 4
Riff over verse

[Verse]
AMiss California what did I do wrong
AIt seems I've loved you
AFor just a little too long
                  CYou've gone and left me
                   DFor some preacher's way

    A n.c.Now you act like you never knew me
And you can't hear a word I say

[Verse]
AMiss California did I get in your way
ADid the neighbors warn you
AWhat would happen some day
                  CThat a love like mine
                 DWas never good anyway
A
N.C.They said think about your reputation now
Before you get carried away

[Chorus]
         C                     D                     A     ADon't you know what's good for me, can be good for you
          C                   D                      A     ADon't you know what's good for me, can be good for you
            D                    CDon't you know what is good for you
    G             A#     ACan be good for me too
              C                 D                    A     ADon't you know what's good for me, can be good for you

[Verse]
       AMiss California was I a little too proud
AI'm standing in the streets now
AAnd I'm screaming out loud
                             CYou try to shove me in your closet
                            DWith your skulls and your bones
 AI can be who I am, you see
AIf I want to do it all alone

[Chorus]

  C         D        A       AYeah yeah yeah yea
            C                  D                             A   ADon't you know what's good for me, could be good for you
           D                    CDon't you know what is good for you
     G              A# ACan be good for me too
           C                    D                  A           ADon't you know what's good for me, could be good for you

[Verse]
AYour sweet seduction led me far from home
AYour self-destruction gives me sticks and stones
C                                DYour propositions make me feel so cold

[Bridge]
N.C.When the hand that's trying to hold me down
Is the one I'm trying to hold
I know the hand that's trying to hold me down
Is the one I'm trying to hold
I said the hand that's trying to force me back
Is the one that won't let me go
