German Cars

               C
I met you at a party
                          G
You were looking for your car keys
                  Am
Rich kids and Bob Marley
             F
Yeah they're never any fun
                       C
So we drove out to the ocean
                     G
Just to finally feel some motion
                       Am
The waves sounded like explosions
       F
And we counted every one


[Pre-Chorus]
    G                   Am           F
And you kissed like the Queen of California
    G              Am               F
And it felt like I hadn't been born


[Chorus]
                   C
I really miss your West Coast JV
                  G
I know you had to get yourself free
               Am                       F
I know it gets hard just to breathe sometime
                C
I'm never gonna forget your name
                   G
I'll never see the world quite the same
                   Am                       F
I'll always keep a part of your dreams with mine
            C F C
With mine


[Verse 2]
                           C
You and me we're different pages
                G
Torn out of the same book
                     Am
My parents they just gave up
          F
And yours wore each other down
                C
Spent so long believing
                          G
We were less than what we needed
                Am
Twenty years of screaming
       F
And we barely made a sound


[Pre-Chorus]
    G                   Am           F
But you kissed like the Queen of California
    G              Am               F
And it felt like I hadn't been born


[Chorus]
                   C
I really miss your West Coast JV
                  G
I know you had to get yourself free
               Am                      F
I know it gets hard just to breathe sometime
                C
I'm never gonna forget your name
                   G
I'll never see the world quite the same
                   Am                       F
I'll always keep a part of your dreams with mine


[Bridge]
       G                  Am
And we hated the way everybody talked
            F                        C
About their father's money and their summer jobs
G                      Am
Princes and Princesses trying to get lost
   F                      C
In German cars that their parents bought

       G                        Am
In the fade and the glow of the summer light
    F                           C                          G
You asked me if I ever felt the pressure to get everything right

To swim the mess
Am
  To stay the course
F
  To be someone
                 C F C
That they adore


[Chorus]
                   C
I really miss your West Coast JV
                   G
Know you wore your heart on your sleeve
             Am                      F
Know it gets hard just to breath sometime
                 C
I'm always gonna call out your name
                   G
I'll never see the world quite the same
                   Am                       F
I'll always keep a part of your dreams with mine
     C
With mine
