Am            Em
Come from the sun in San Marino

Em
Guess that makes me Angeleno

Em
Friends got married, had them dogs

D                   F
Now they read those catalogs

Am   Em
This commerce makes me nauseous (Ah)

Em
When did life get so damn cautious?

Em
So I drive in search of smiles

D
XM on, let's check out Miles
[Pre-Chorus]
Em
This slice of life when you're out on the road

          Am    Em                D          F
Is always extra nice when there's someone to hold
[Chorus]
C      Em
Ay-oh, way-oh

Am              D
Would you be my traffic jam?

Anyway, I was headed south

Taste of coffee in my mouth

Up that off-ramp 405

D
Angry drivers on both sides

Em
Got a call from my good friend Dave

Am                  Em
He said, "Yo, let's get that wave"

Em
I said, "Yes, just tell me where"

D               F
Board's up top, wind in my hair

From the mind of Frida Kahlo

Show me love and I will follow

Am                Em
From the words of my old man (Old man)

D
Conversations in the sand

This slice of life when you're out on the road

Oh, now, come and give me something to spread my bread onto (Onto)

              Em                            D      A          G
T-t-t, t-t-t, time and time again, we get a window and a clue

         Em               D        A
Time and time again, life-changing rendezvous
[Verse 3]

Anyway, made a left on third

Got distracted, jumped that curb

Unaware and on her walk

I hit the brakes, made time to talk

Oh my God, just get inside

It was all that I imagined

Packed our bags and headed west

We drove off into the sunset
