[Chorus]
Em
See I've been here for years

            Bm
Pounding sweat beneath these wheels

             C
We tattooed lines beneath our skin

             G                      D 
No surrender my Bobby Jean
[Verse 1]
                    Em
See I've been here for years

               Bm
Pounding sweat beneath these wheels

                   C
We tattooed lines beneath our skin

               G                      D
No surrender my Bobby Jean

               Em
We've been burned by all our fears

               Bm
Just from growing up around here

               C
Our father's factories marked our cars

               G                                D
While Eden burned against the stars

              G
And Sally said Sally said

             Em
I can't take no more regret

                C
It cut us deep into our souls

                  G                     D
Came and climbed into our bed

                 G
And Sally said Sally said

              Em
Meet me by the River's edge

                C
We're going to wash these sins away

                G                           D
Or else we won't come back again
G Em C G D [Verse 2]
               Em
You know I had these ballroom dreams

             Bm
That as a child came to me

            C
I was a boy in Grandma's arms

                     G                      D
A mother's pride and a wounded heart

                      Em
And I was full with fiery wonder

                    Bm
You wore Audrey Hepburn pearls

                    C
You were the only one who understood me then

        G                         D
and the only one who will
[Chorus 2]
              G
And Sally said Sally said

             Em
I can't take no more regret

                C
It cut us deep into our souls

                 G                    D
Came and climbed into our bed

                 G
And Sally said Sally said

              Em
Meet me by the River's edge

               C
We're going to wash these sins away

                G                           D
Or else we won't come back again
[Bridge]
          Em         D         C         G
And now I drive the 1 1 on the California night
Em D C G And I'm amazed at all the stars beneath that old Hollywood sign Em D C G And we waltz ballet up a boulevard to a place we never kept Em D C G And I'm not sure if we belong here if I ever really left or If I can go
  D    
home.
[Outro]
              G (one strum)
And Sally said Sally said

             Em (one strum)
I can't take no more regret

                C
It cut us deep into our souls

                  G                      D
Came and climbed into our bed

                 G
And Sally said Sally said

              Em
Meet me by the River's edge

                C
We're going to wash these sins away

                G                             D
Or else we won't come back again

          G   Em   C   G   D 
No retreat No regrets

              C              G             C 
Meet me by the river's edge
