Telegraph Ave Oakland

Tom: Cm
Fm
I was making Japanese
Cm
And she's watching DVDs
Ab Bb
In Oakland, in Oakland
Fm
Now I'm driving up the 5
Cm
And she waits till I arrive
Ab Bb
In Oakland, in Oakland
Fm
Everything, that I wanted
Cm
Only gotta drive for the moment
Ab
If you tell me "turn around," then I'm on it
Gm
For the moment, but you know me
Bb
You know how I get when I'm lonely
Eb
I think about you and the moments
Cm Gm
But everything you do is so Oakland, so Oakland

[Chorus]
Fm
Foot on the gas
Cm
I'm just trying to pass
Ab
All the red lights
Gm
And the stop signs
Ab
I'm ready to go

[Próxima Parte]
Cm
Before I get to The Bay, Babe, that's a problem
Ab
Because I'm way too scared to call
Gm
And you might get me to stay, no

[Verse 2]
Fm
I don't really want to drive
Cm
But I think I'd rather die
Ab Gm
In Oakland, in Oakland
Fm
With my hands on two and ten
Cm
So I guess it all depends
Ab Gm
On Oakland, on Oakland
Fm
And I'm nervous, truth be told
Cm
I never saw me growing old
Ab Gm
In Oakland, in Oakland
Fm
And if I married you tonight
Cm
It would probably start a riot
Ab Gm
In Oakland, in Oakland

[Verse 3]
Fm
Everything, that I needed
Cm
Now I finally got you in your feelings
Ab
Everything you won't say, you tweet it
Gm Bb
And a nigga don’t like that shit at all
Bb
So retreating
Cm
Can we just roll with the feeling?
Ab
Can we just roll for a minute?
Gm
Wait a minute

[Chorus 2]
[Próxima Parte]
Cm
And I'm really not ready girl, that's a problem
Ab
Because I'm way too scared to call
Gm
And you might get me to stay, no

[Bridge]
Fm
All the girlfriends saying "here we go again"
Cm
Rich kid but he act like a gentleman
Ab
Last one didn't end like it should've been
Bb
Two dates and he still wanna get it in
Fm
And you're saying it's because of the Internet
Cm
Try once and it's on to the next chick
Ab
X-O the O face on your exes...right?
And we can do the same
Fm
thing if you wanna have better
Cm
When your thoughts can't breathe and you thinking asthmatic
Ab
And you wanna be a mom and I wasn't mad at her
Gm
I was thinking 'bout me, I'd be really bad at it
Cause I'm thinking 'bout me, weeks in Dubai
Cm Ab
Fourth of July, house in Kauai, yeah we can try
Gm
So let's try

[Verse 4]
Cm
Whoaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Fm
I took off my nine to five
Cm
But you still don't have the time to
Ab Gm
kiss me (just hit me)
Fm
And if I left you all alone,
Cm
would you still pick up the phone
Ab Gm
It's iffy, you miss me
Fm Cm
I got furniture to move, and we'll both be thirty soon
Ab Gm
In Oakland, in Oakland
Fm
The only one I know is you,
Cm
so the fuck I'm supposed to do?
Ab Gm
In Oakland, in Oakland [x8]
