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