Guitar chords with lyrics
Verse 1:
F minorFm
I was making Japanese
C minorCm
And she's watching DVDs
AbAb 
Bb majorBb
In Oakland, in Oakland
F minorFm
Now I'm driving up the 5
C minorCm
And she waits till I arrive
AbAb Bb majorBb
In Oakland, in Oakland
F minorFm
Everything, that I wanted
C minorCm
Only gotta drive for the moment
AbAb
If you tell me "turn around," then I'm on it
G minorGm
For the moment, but you know me
Bb majorBb
You know how I get when I'm lonely
Eb MajorEb
I think about you and the moments
C minorCm G minorGm
But everything you do is so Oakland, so Oakland
Chorus:
F minorFm
Foot on the gas
C minorCm
I'm just trying to pass
AbAb
All the red lights
G minorGm
And the stop signs
AbAb
I'm ready to go
C minorCm
Before I get to The Bay, Babe, that's a problem
AbAb
Because I'm way too scared to call
G minorGm
And you might get me to stay, no
Verse 2:
F minorFm
I don't really want to drive
C minorCm
But I think I'd rather die
AbAb G minorGm
In Oakland, in Oakland
F minorFm
With my hands on two and ten
C minorCm
So I guess it all depends
AbAb G minorGm
On Oakland, on Oakland
F minorFm
And I'm nervous, truth be told
C minorCm
I never saw me growing old
AbAb G minorGm
In Oakland, in Oakland
F minorFm
And if I married you tonight
C minorCm
It would probably start a riot
AbAb G minorGm
In Oakland, in Oakland
Verse 3:
F minorFm
Everything, that I needed
C minorCm
Now I finally got you in your feelings
AbAb
Everything you won't say, you tweet it
G minorGm Bb majorBb
And a nigga don t like that shit at all
Bb majorBb
So retreating
C minorCm
Can we just roll with the feeling?
AbAb
Can we just roll for a minute?
G minorGm
Wait a minute
Chorus 2:
F minorFm
Foot on the gas
C minorCm
I'm just trying to pass
AbAb
All the red lights
G minorGm
And the stop signs
AbAb
I'm ready to go
C minorCm
And I'm really not ready girl, that's a problem
AbAb
Because I'm way too scared to call
G minorGm
And you might get me to stay, no
Bridge:

All the girlfriends saying "here we go again"
C minorCm
Rich kid but he act like a gentleman
AbAb
Last one didn't end like it should've been
Bb majorBb
Two dates and he still wanna get it in
F minorFm
And you're saying it's because of the Internet
C minorCm
Try once and it's on to the next chick
AbAb
X-O the O face on your exes...right?
And we can do the same
F minorFm
thing if you wanna have better
C minorCm
When your thoughts can't breathe and you thinking asthmatic
AbAb
And you wanna be a mom and I wasn't mad at her

I took off my nine to five

But you still don't have the time to
AbAb G minorGm
kiss me (just hit me)
F minorFm
And if I left you all alone,
C minorCm
would you still pick up the phone
AbAb G minorGm
It's iffy, you miss me
F minorFm C minorCm
I got furniture to move, and we'll both be thirty soon

In Oakland, in Oakland

The only one I know is you,

so the fuck I'm supposed to do?
AbAb G minorGm
In Oakland, in Oakland [x8]
