Tuning: Standard (E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD G+G BB E MajorE)
A minorAm
I was making Japanese
E minorEm
And she's watching DVDs
C majorC G+G
In Oakland, in Oakland
A minorAm
Now I'm driving up the 5
E minorEm
And she waits till I arrive
C majorC G+G
In Oakland, in Oakland
A minorAm
Everything, that I wanted
E minorEm
Only gotta drive for the moment
C majorC
If you tell me "turn around," then I'm on it
G+G
For the moment, but you know me
A minorAm
You know how I get when I'm lonely
E minorEm
I think about you and the moments
C majorC G+G
But everything you do is so Oakland, so Oakland
A minorAm E minorEm
A augmentedA tornado flew around my room before you came
C majorC G+G
Excuse the mess it made, it usually doesn’t rain
A minorAm E minorEm
In Southern California, much like Arizona
C majorC G+G
My eyes don’t shed tears, but, boy, they bawl
A minorAm
Foot on the gas
E minorEm
I'm just trying to pass
C majorC
All the red lights
G+G
And the stop signs
A minorAm
I'm ready to go
E minorEm
Before I get to The Bay, Babe, that's a problem
C majorC
Because I'm way too scared to call
G+G
And you might get me to stay, no
A minorAm E minorEm
When I’m thinkin’ ’bout cha-Ooo, no, no, no
C majorC G+G
I’ve been thinkin’ ’bout cha. You know, know, know
A minorAm
I’ve been thinkin’ ’bout cha
C majorC G+G
Do you think about me still?
G+G D MajorD
Do ya, do ya?
A minorAm
I don't really want to drive
E minorEm
But I think I'd rather die
C majorC G+G
In Oakland, in Oakland
A minorAm
With my hands on two and ten
E minorEm
So I guess it all depends
C majorC G+G
On Oakland, on Oakland
A minorAm
And I'm nervous, truth be told
E minorEm
I never saw me growing old
C majorC G+G
In Oakland, in Oakland
A minorAm
And if I married you tonight
E minorEm
It would probably start a riot
C majorC G+G
In Oakland, in Oakland
A minorAm
Everything, that I needed
E minorEm
Now I finally got you in your feelings
C majorC
Everything you won't say, you tweet it
G+G A minorAm
And a nigga don’t like that shit at all
A minorAm
So retreating
E minorEm
Can we just roll with the feeling?
C majorC
Can we just roll for a minute?
G+G
Wait a minute
A minorAm
Foot on the gas
E minorEm
I'm just trying to pass
C majorC
All the red lights
G+G
And the stop signs
A minorAm
I'm ready to go
E minorEm
And I'm really not ready girl, that's a problem
C majorC
Because I'm way too scared to call
G+G
And you might get me to stay, no
A minorAm E minorEm C majorC G+G
Or do you not think so far ahead? Ahead
A minorAm E minorEm C majorC G+G
‘Cause I been thinkin’ ’bout forever. Ooo, oooo
Or do you not think so far ahead? (Ahead)
A minorAm E minorEm C majorC G+G
‘Cause I been thinkin’ ’bout forever. Ooo, oooo
A minorAm
I took off my nine to five
E minorEm
But you still don't have the time to
C majorC G+G
kiss me (just hit me)
A minorAm
And if I left you all alone,
E minorEm
would you still pick up the phone
C majorC G+G
It's iffy, you miss me
A minorAm E minorEm
I got furniture to move, and we'll both be thirty soon
C majorC G+G
In Oakland, in Oakland
A minorAm
The only one I know is you,
E minorEm
so the fuck I'm supposed to do?
C majorC G+G
In Oakland, in Oakland
A minorAm E minorEm
In Oakland, in Oakland (x8)
A minorAm
