City and Colour The Golden State Lyrics

Here is a chord tab for The Golden State by City and Colour.
I have a tutorial in my channel showing the finger-picking in the intro and the song!
Check it out here!: https://www.youtube.com/watch'v=WbxHttCFAPA
This song is played standard with the Capo on the 3rd fret.
*For beginners: The chord with the stars beside them are the same chord but they
are played in a different spot on the guitar as shown in the chart.
Intro: G, Em, D, Em*, C
Verse:
Why's everyone still singing about California?
Haven't we heard enough about the Golden State?
I guess if you like sandy beaches and blue ocean water
There's just something about it, to which I cannot relate
I need to see the leaves change and the snowflakes falling
I need to hear the call, the wind whistling through the winter pines
Chorus:
Why's everyone still singing about California?
Haven't we heard enough about the Golden State?
And people still follow their dreams to sweet California
And from time to time I'll pass on by, but I will never stay
Verse:
Sure there are beautiful people, in the city of lost angels
They're living like they're kings and queens, from some royal age
But fortune and fame won't save you, when California
Is wiped out by the ring of fire or a great earthquake
Chorus:
Why's everyone still singing about California?
Haven't we heard enough about the Golden State?
And people still follow their dreams to sweet California
And from time to time I'll pass on by, but I will never stay
Outro:
No I will never stay
Never stay
Never stay
