D5 F G D5 So I remember we got our driver's license F And my friend Hillel had this little G D5 Datsun painted green, and F G D5 Hollywood would get so crazy in the winter E5 The rains would come and the Eb5 Hills would just kind of melt down D5 F G D5 Into the city lights, and, well, you F Know, we'd smoke weed and we'd G D5 Go up in the hills, and we'd listen F To progressive rock music, and just kind G D5 Of trip out and well, we would E5 Eb5 Dream, you know, we would dream D5 And we would talk about what we wanted F To do, and we would talk about G D5 F G Girls and music and, you know, Hillel D5 Wanted to be a rock star
And I didn't even know what that was
F G I was like, "Whatever you want to D5 E5 Do, man, I'm coming with you Eb5 I'm right with you my friend"

Dm Am Can't they just spell it out, make it clear Bb Make it easy to read F A7 C#dim7 For the simple man like me? I don't think so Dm Am Bb I reach out to my family and I say F A7 "It's not about religion and the God sitting C#dim7 In a chair in the sky Dm Am With a punishing hand, no Bb F A7 It's about heaven in your heart" C#dim7 Now when do we start? Dm Am Bb I wanna choose love instead of fear F A7 Won't you come right now, over here C#dim7 Dm Am And be a part of my Bb F A7 C#dim7 Dm Let me make it easier this time, I love you
