Intro: C/E/F
(Verse 1)
C E
If I strum chords, would you sing a song with me
F
If I leave town would you leave along with me
C E
And we can fly away to outer space
F
Or we can find a way to leave this place
C
We don't need a map and you can throw your phone away
F
We don't wanna hear the things we know they're gonna say
C
You don't trust yourself but girl trust in me
F
Don't look in the mirror the past you don't wanna see
(Chorus)
C
What do you say we leave for California
A
If we drive all night we can make it by the morning
G
And no one has to know if we decide to go
F
What do you say we leave for California
Intro
(Verse 2) Same as verse 1
If we leave our friends then we can be together
We can leave this town if only for the weather
I could drive and you could sleep
While the radio collides to the sound of our heartbeats
(Chorus)
What do you say we leave for California
If we drive all night we can make it by the morning
And no one has to know if we decide to go
What do you say we leave for California
(same as chorus)
Hypnotized by the carbon monoxide
Would turning back be a good idea
Your cigarette after cigarette
Cannot help to calm your fear
(same as chorus)
But I'm still driving
Just keep sleeping
We'll keep moving
But I'm not leaving no I'm not leaving
(Chorus x3)
What do you say we leave for California
If we drive all night we can make it by the morning
And no one has to know if we decide to go
What do you say we leave for California
What do you say we leave for California
If we drive all night we can make it by the morning
And no one has to know if we decide to go
What do you say we leave for California
What do you say we leave for California
If we drive all night we can make it by the morning
And no one has to know if we decide to go
What do you say we leave for California
