               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           F
And you kissed like the Queen of California

    G              Am               F
And it felt like I hadn't been born
[Chorus]
                   C
I really miss your West Coast JV

                  G
I know you had to get yourself free

               Am                       F
I know it gets hard just to breathe sometimes

                C
I'm never gonna forget your name

                   G
I'll never see the world quite the same

                   Am                       F
I'll always keep a part of your dreams with mine

          C Csus2 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
We 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           F
But you kissed like the Queen of California

    G              Am               F
And it felt like I hadn't been born
[Chorus]
                   C
I really miss your West Coast JV

                  G
I know you had to get yourself free

               Am                       F
I know it gets hard just to breathe sometimes

                C
I'm never gonna forget your name

                   G
I'll never see the world quite the same

                   Am                       F
I'll always keep a part of your dreams with mine
[Bridge]
       G                  Am
And we hated the way everybody talked

            F                        
About their father's money and their summer jobs

G                      Am
Princes and Princesses trying to get lost

   F                      C
In German cars that their parents bought

       G                        Am
In the fade and the glow of the summer light

    F                           C                          G
You asked me if I ever felt the pressure to get everything right
To swim the mess
Am
  To stay the course

F
  To be someone

                 C Csus2 C
That they adore
[Chorus]
                   C
I really miss your West Coast JV

                     G
I know you wore your heart on your sleeve

               Am                      F
I know it gets hard just to breath sometimes

                 C
I'm always gonna call out your name

                   G
I'll never see the world quite the same

                   Am                       F
I'll always keep a part of your dreams with mine

     C
With mine
