Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[F][Am][F]
[C]

[Verse 1]
If [C]I strum chords,
would you sing a song with me
If [F]I leave town would you
leave along with me
We can [C]fly [F]away to [C]outer space
[F]We can find a way to [G]leave this place

[Verse 2]
[C]We don't need a map and you
can [Am]throw your phone away
[C]We don't [F]wanna hear the things
we know they're gonna say
You don't trust yourself
but girl [Am]trust in me
[F]Don't look [Dm]in the mirror the past
[F]you don't wanna [Am]see

[Verse 3]
[C]What do you say we leave for California
If [Am]we drive all night we can
make it by the morning
And [G]no one has to know
if we decide to go
[F]What do you say we leave
for California
[C][F][C]

[Verse 4]
If we leave our friends then
we can be together
[F]We can leave this town if only for the weather
I could [C]drive and you could [Am]sleep[C]
While [F]the radio collides to
[Gm]the sound of our heartbeats
[G]What

[Verse 5]
[C]do you say we leave for California
If [Am]we drive all night we can
make it by the morning
And [G]no one has to know if
we decide [F]to go
[C]What do you say [Am]we[G][F]

[Verse 6]
leave for California
[F]Hypnotized by the carbon [C]monoxide
Would [Am]turning back be a good idea
Your [G]cigarette after cigarette
[F]Cannot help to calm your fear

[Verse 7]
But [C]I'm still driving
[Am]Just keep sleeping
[G]We'll keep moving
But [F]I'm not leaving no I'm not

[Interlude 1]
leaving
[F][Am][F][Dm]
[C][F][C][F][C]
[Dm]

[Verse 8]
[C]What do you say we leave for California
If [F]we drive all night we [Dm]can
make it by the morning
[F]And [G]no one has to know
if we decide to go
[F]What do you say we leave for California

[Verse 9]
[C]What do you say we leave for California
If [Am]we drive all [Dm]night we can
make it by the [Am]morning
And [G]no one has to know
if we decide to go
[F]What do you say we leave for California

[Verse 10]
[C]What do you say we leave for California
If we [Am]drive all [Dm]night we can
[Am]make it by the morning
And [G]no one has to know
if we decide to go
[F]What do you say we leave for California
