Intro:
          C majorC
Well I met you at a party
             G+G
You were looking for your car keys
         A minorAm
Rich kids and Bob Marley
       FF
Yeah they're never any fun
            C majorC
So we drove out to the ocean
           G+G
Just to finally feel some motion
            A minorAm
The waves sounded like explosions
    FF
And we counted every one

Pre-Chorus:
  G+G          A minorAm      FF
And you kissed like the Queen of California
  G+G       A minorAm        FF
And it felt like I hadn't been born


Chorus:
          C majorC
I really miss your West Coast JV
         G+G
I know you had to get yourself free
        A minorAm           FF
I know it gets hard just to breath sometime
        C majorC
I'm never gonna forget your name
          G+G
I'll never see the world quite the same
          A minorAm            FF
I'll always keep a part of your dreams with mine
      C majorC
With mine


Verse 2:
              C majorC
You and me we're different pages
        G+G
Torn out of the same book
           A minorAm
My parents they just gave up
     FF
And yours wore each other down
        C majorC
Spent so long believing
             G+G
We were less than what we needed
        A minorAm
Twenty years of screaming
    FF
And we barely made a sound

Pre-Chorus:
  G+G          A minorAm      FF
But you kissed like the Queen of California
  G+G       A minorAm        FF
And it felt like I hadn't been born


Chorus:
          C majorC
I really miss your West Coast JV
         G+G
I know you had to get yourself free
        A minorAm           FF
I know it gets hard just to breath sometime
        C majorC
I'm never gonna forget your name
          G+G
I'll never see the world quite the same
          A minorAm            FF
I'll always keep a part of your dreams with mine


Bridge:
    G+G         A minorAm
And we hated the way everybody talked
      FF            C majorC
About their father's money and their summer jobs
G+G           A minorAm
Princes and Princesses trying to get lost
  FF           C majorC
In German cars that their parents bought

    G+G            A minorAm
In the fade and the glow of the summer light
  FF              C majorC             G+G
You asked me if I ever felt the pressure to get everything right

To swim the mess
A minorAm
 To stay the course
FF
 To be someone
         C majorC
That they adore


Chorus:
          C majorC
I really miss your West Coast JV
          G+G
Know you wore your heart on your sleeve
       A minorAm           FF
Know it gets hard just to breath sometime
        C majorC
I'm never gonna forget your name
          G+G
I'll never see the world quite the same
          A minorAm            FF
I'll always keep a part of your dreams with mine
   C majorC
With mine
