[Verse 1]
  G                G/F#
I finally found a girl to love

      Em           A
It's time for me to settle down

    G                  G/F#
The trouble is that I can't decide

Em                 A
Where to spend the rest of my life

    G                 G/F#
At first I thought I wanted to be

Em                   A
One more east coast family

     G             G/F#
But now I'm not so sure anymore

Em                 A
Which coast I love more,
[Chorus]
              G   G/F#  Em  A
East coast or west coast?
[Verse 2]
    G                   G/F#
The east is where your family is

      Em
It's where you grew up

          A
Where you raise you kids

G                     G/F#
The west is where you paid your dues

G                  G/F#
Made your name and had your breakthroughs

    G                   G/F#
The east has a more intellectual bent

    Em               A
The west has winners bound for success

  G                       G/F#
I know that's stale but I can't decide

Em               A
Where I want to reside
[Chorus]
              G   G/F#  Em  A
East coast or west coast?
[Bridge]
 D             F#
I'm so sick of moving around

Bm                      F#m
Once and for all I wanna settle down

G                  A
Moved so much when I was a kid

D                Bm        A
Always trying to make new friends

D                      F#
If it's roots that you want, come on

    Bm                F#m
The west is where you lived for so long

     G                      A
It's got your bros and your doctors too

    D                   Bm           A
The hairstylist that perfected your 'do

    D                       F#
No, that ain't nothing that you should mind

Bm                    F#m
Think of the ironwood trees that you climbed

     G                       A
When you were a kid and the seasons would change

   D                     Bm            A
It just ain't right when they stay the same
[Chorus]
              G   G/F#  Em  A
East coast or west coast?
[Bridge]
G                           G/F#
Think of the times that you had in the west

    Em                   A
The chicks that randomly showed you their breasts

         G                            G/F#
When you walked in the streets in the city at night

Em                     A
Looking for someone to make you feel (alright)

G                     G/F#
Think of your mom and think of your dad

Em                         A
Don't you think you oughta' pay them back?

    G                    G/F#
And help them find their happiness

    Em                     A
And they can help with the kids
[Chorus]
              G   G/F#  Em  A
East coast or west coast?
[Bridge]
D                        F#
How could you raise your kids in the east?

Bm                         F#m
Don't you remember how you would weep?

        G                   A
And the backwards, bigoted, bully creeps

D                    Bm          A
You should find some alternative beats

     D                     F#
If alternative beats don't sound produced

      Bm                F#m
Then, by all means, go ahead and move

  G                                     A
When I said it wouldn't matter if you'd blown your youth

D                 Bm   A
Try and outdo the cool
[Chorus]
              G   G/F#  Em  A
East coast or west coast?
[Verse 3]
    G                    G/F#
Now hold on, guys, let's give it a rest

 Em                     A
I like both coasts, the east and the west

     G                G/F#
I'll have to think on this for a while

    Em              A
And ask myself with smile:

              G   G/F#
East coast or west coast?

  Em  A
(Where can I do my best?)

              G   G/F#
East coast or west coast?

 Em  A
(Where can I give my best?)

                                      D
I think you know where you wanna live, bro
Aw, shut... the... shut up
