Key:
C C/B Am G Oh yeah, well, I'm not even guessing what your plans may be
C C/B Am G Yeah, you're twisted and you're bent like you're a Japanese tree
Em Em/G Em Those are pretty long arms driving from the back seat
Em Em/G Em Lay it on heavy like you're sand on a beach
C C/B Am G Yeah, you're all ears, how hard could it be?
C C/B Am G A cat in the grass, an eaves in the eaves
Em Em/G Em Walking in my head like I am shoes on your feet
Em Em/G Em You're twisted and you're bent like you're a Japanese tree [Chorus]
D Well, you need a place to go
F#m And I have a place to leave
Bm We'll split the gasoline
A And sleep in the back seat
D When can we leave?
F#m Why can't we leave?
Bm A When can we leave?
D Oh, you got it figured out
F#m And I'll learn eventually
Bm A We'll ditch our phones in the rest stop bathroom
Continues after the ad
D When can we leave? [Verse 2]
C C/B Am G We have a knack for turning days into weeks full of
C C/B Am G Pointless details just to crease up your sleeve
Em Em/G Em You're twisted and you're bent like you're a Japanese tree
Em Em/G Em Yeah, you're twisted and you're bent like you're a Japanese tree
C C/B Am G Pointless details just to crease up your sleeves
C C/B Am G Yeah, make up some news and then you believe what you read
Em Yeah, lay it on heavy like it's sand on a beach
Em Yeah, lay it on heavy like it's sand on a beach, yeah [Chorus]
D Well, you need a place to go
F#m And I have a place to leave
Bm We'll split the gasoline
A And sleep in the back seat
D When can we leave?
F#m When can we leave?
Bm A When can we leave?
D Oh, you got it figured out
F#m And I'll learn eventually
Bm A We'll ditch our phones in the rest stop bathroom
D Why can't we leave?
F#m Why can't we leave?
Bm Why can't we leave?
A Why can't we leave? [Other]
D Well, you need a place to go
F#m And I have a place to leave
Bm So what do we need?
A What do we need?
D We'll sleep in the back seat
F#m And I'll learn eventually
Bm 'Cause you've got it figured out
A So when can we leave?
D F#m We ditched our phones in the rest stop bathroom
Bm When can we leave?
A Well, you need a place to go
D But where can it be?
