German Cars

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


[Pre-Chorus]
    G                   Am     
And you kissed like the Queen of 
      F
California
    G              Am             
And it felt like I hadn't been 
  F
born


[Chorus]
                   C
I really miss your West Coast JV
                  G
I know you had to get yourself free
               Am                  
I know it gets hard just to breathe
     F
 sometime
                C
I'm never gonna forget your name
                   G
I'll never see the world quite the 
same
                   Am          
I'll always keep a part of your 
             F
dreams with mine
            C F C
With mine

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


[Pre-Chorus]
    G                   Am     
But you kissed like the Queen of 
      F
California
    G              Am             
And it felt like I hadn't been 
  F
born


[Chorus]
                   C
I really miss your West Coast JV
                  G
I know you had to get yourself free
               Am                  
I know it gets hard just to breathe
    F
 sometime
                C
I'm never gonna forget your name
                   G
I'll never see the world quite the 
same
                   Am          
I'll always keep a part of your 
             F
dreams with mine


[Bridge]
       G                  Am
And we hated the way everybody 
talked
            F                      
About their father's money and 
  C
their summer jobs
G                      Am
Princes and Princesses trying to get
 lost
   F                      C
In German cars that their parents 
bought

       G                       
In the fade and the glow of the 
 Am
summer light
    F                          
You asked me if I ever felt the 
 C                          G
pressure to get everything right

To swim the mess
Am
  To stay the course
F
  To be someone
                 C F C
That they adore


[Chorus]
                   C
I really miss your West Coast JV
                   G
Know you wore your heart on your 
sleeve
             Am                 
Know it gets hard just to breath 
     F
sometime
                 C
I'm always gonna call out your name
                   G
I'll never see the world quite the 
same
                   Am          
I'll always keep a part of your 
             F
dreams with mine
     C
With mine
