C  
I was making Japanese 
          G 
And she's watching DVDs 
   Bm           Em 
In Oakland, in Oakland 
        C 
Now I'm driving up the 5 
        G 
And she waits till I arrive 
   Bm           Em 
In Oakland, in Oakland 
C           
Everything, that I wanted 
G 
Only gotta drive for the moment 
Bm     
If you tell me "turn around," then I'm on it 
Em 
For the moment, but you know me 
C 
You know how I get when I'm lonely 
Em 
I think about you and the moments 
Bm                                    Em 
But everything you do is so Oakland, so Oakland 


C 
Foot on the gas 
         G 
I'm just trying to pass 
        Bm 
All the red lights 
        Em 
And the stop signs 
    C 
I'm ready to go 
         G 
Before I get to The Bay, Babe, that's a problem 
Bm 
Because I'm way too scared to call 
       Em 
And you might get me to stay, no 


C 
All the girlfriends saying "here we go again" 
G 
Rich kid but he act like a gentleman 
Bm 
Last one didn't end like it should've been 
Em 
Two dates and he still wanna get it in 
C 
And you're saying it's because of the Internet 
G 
Try once and it's on to the next chick 
Bm                             Em 
X-O the O face on your exes...right? 
                  C             
And we can do the same thing if you wanna have better 
                         G 
When your thoughts can't breathe and you thinking asthmatic 
                   Bm 
And you wanna be a mom and I wasn't mad at her 
                     Em               
I was thinking 'bout me, I'd be really bad at it 
                         C 
Cause I'm thinking 'bout me, weeks in Dubai 
          G                                Bm 
Fourth of July, house in Kauai, yeah we can try 
         Em 
So let's try 


C                   G                     
And now that's it's over 
              Bm 
I'll never be sober 
           Em                        C 
I couldn't believe, but now I'm so high 
                  G                       Bm 
And now that's it's over, I'll never be sober 
            Em                       C 
I couldn't believe, but now I'm so high 
G                Bm 
    Now I'm so high 
Em                C             G 
    Now I'm so high  
Bm                Em 


       C 
I took off my nine to five 
         G 
But you still don't have the time to  
Bm             Em 
kiss me just hit me 
         C 
And if I left you all alone,  
          G 
would you still pick up the phone 
     Bm         Em 
It's iffy, you miss me 
      C                                G 
I got furniture to move, and we'll both be thirty soon   
   Bm           Em 
In Oakland, in Oakland 
         C 
The only one I know is you,  
       G
