Verse 1:
        
If I strum chords would

you sing a song with me
   
If I leave town would
you leave along with me
              
And we can fly
        
away to outer space
   
Or we can find a way
   
to leave this place
                       
We don't need a map and you
can throw your phone away

We don't wanna hear the
things we know they're gonna
    
say You don't trust yourself
    
but girl trust in me

Don't look in the mirror 
   
he past you don't wanna see


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


Interlude: C--


Verse 2:
   
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


(Repeat Chorus)


Bridge:

Hypnotized by the 
carbon monoxide
      
Would turning back
be a good idea
     
Your cigarette 
after cigarette
 
Cannot help to 
calm your fear
    
But I'm still driving

Just keep sleeping

We'll keep moving
    
But I'm not leaving
no I'm not leaving


Interlude: C--C/E--F---C--C/E--F--G-


(Repeat Chorus thrice)


Outro: C--C/E--F---C(hold)
