Tom : Am
Dm
I was making Japanese
Am
And she's watching DVDs
F Em7
In Oakland, in Oakland
Dm
Now I'm driving up the 5
Am
And she waits till I arrive
F Em7
In Oakland, in Oakland
Dm
Everything, that I wanted
Am
Only gotta drive for the moment
F
If you tell me "turn around," then I'm on it
Em7
For the moment, but you know me
Dm
You know how I get when I'm lonely
Am
And I think about you and the moment
F Em7
But everything you do is so Oakland, so Oakland
Dm
Foot on the gas
Am
I'm just trying to pass
F
All the red lights
Em7
And the stop signs
Dm
I'm ready to go
Am
Before I get to The Bay Babe, that's a problem
F
Because I'm way too scared to call
Em7
And you might get me to stay, and oh
Dm
I don't really mind the drive
Am
But I think I'd rather die
F Em7
In Oakland, in Oakland
Dm
With my hands on two and ten
Am
So I guess it all depends
F Em7
On Oakland, on Oakland
Dm
And I'm nervous, truth be told
Am
I never saw me growing old
F Em7
In Oakland, in Oakland
Dm
And if I married you tonight
Am
It would probably start a riot
F Em7
In Oakland, in Oakland
Dm
Everything, that I needed
Am
Now that I got you in your feelings
F
Everything you won't say, you tweet it
Em7
And a nigga don't like that shit at all
Dm
So treated
Am
Can we just roll with the feeling?
F
Can we just roll for a minute?
Em7
Wait a minute
Dm
Foot on the gas
Am
I'm just tryna pass
F
All the red lights
Em7
And the stop signs
Dm
I'm ready to go
Am
But I'm really not ready girl That's a problem
F
'Cause I'm way too scared to fall
Em7
And I know you choose to stay, and oh
Dm
All the girlfriends saying "here we go again"
Am
Rich kid but he act like a gentleman
F
Last one didn't end like it should've been
Em7
Two dates and he still wanna get it in
Dm
And they're saying it's because of the Internet
Am
Try her once and it's on to the next chick
F Em7
X-O the O face on your exes...right?
Dm
And we can do the same thing if you wanna have at it
Am
When your thoughts can't breathe and you're thinking asthmatic
F
And you wanna be a mom and I wasn't mad at
Em7
it I was thinking 'bout me,
Dm
I'd be really bad at it
Am
'Cause I'm thinking 'bout me,
F

Em7
Fourth of July,
Dm
house in Kauai,
Am

F Em7
So let's try
Whoah
  Dm  Am   F
Em7 (2x)
Dm
I took off my nine to five
Am F
But you still don't have the time to kiss me
Em7
(just hit me)
Dm
And If I left you all alone, would you still pick up the phone
Am
It's iffy, you miss me
F Em7
I got furniture to move, and we'll both be thirty soon
Dm Am
In Oakland, in Oakland
F Em7
The only one I know is you, so the fuck I'm supposed to do?
Dm Am
In Oakland, in Oakland
