C
I was making Japanese
G
And she's watching DVDs
Bm Em
In Oakland, in Oakland
C
Now I'm driving up the 5
G
And she waits till I arrive
Bm Em
In Oakland, in Oakland
C
Everything, that I wanted
G
Only gotta drive for the moment
Bm
If you tell me "turn around," then I'm on it
Em
For the moment, but you know me
C
You know how I get when I'm lonely
Em
I think about you and the moments
Bm Em
But everything you do is so Oakland, so Oakland
C
Foot on the gas
G
I'm just trying to pass
Bm
All the red lights
Em
And the stop signs
C
I'm ready to go
G
Before I get to The Bay, Babe, that's a problem
Bm
Because I'm way too scared to call
Em
And you might get me to stay, no
C
All the girlfriends saying "here we go again"
G
Rich kid but he act like a gentleman
Bm
Last one didn't end like it should've been
Em
Two dates and he still wanna get it in
C
And you're saying it's because of the Internet
G
Try once and it's on to the next chick
Bm Em
X-O the O face on your exes...right?
C
And we can do the same thing if you wanna have better
G
When your thoughts can't breathe and you thinking asthmatic
Bm
And you wanna be a mom and I wasn't mad at her
Em
I was thinking 'bout me, I'd be really bad at it
C
Cause I'm thinking 'bout me, weeks in Dubai
G Bm
Fourth of July, house in Kauai, yeah we can try
Em
So let's try
C G
And now that's it's over
Bm
I'll never be sober
Em C
I couldn't believe, but now I'm so high
G Bm
And now that's it's over, I'll never be sober
Em C
I couldn't believe, but now I'm so high
G Bm
Now I'm so high
Em C G
Now I'm so high
Bm Em
C
I took off my nine to five
G
But you still don't have the time to
Bm Em
kiss me just hit me
C
And if I left you all alone,
G
would you still pick up the phone
Bm Em
It's iffy, you miss me
C G
I got furniture to move, and we'll both be thirty soon
Bm Em
In Oakland, in Oakland
C
The only one I know is you,
G
so the hell I'm supposed to do?
Bm Em
In Oakland, in Oakland
C G
In Oakland, in Oakland
Bm Em
In Oakland, in Oakland
C G
In Oakland, in Oakland
Bm Em
In Oakland, in Oakland
