--Intro--
[Am] [F] [C] [G] [G#]
 
--Verse 1--
[Am]You don't ever have [F]to
Be stronger than you really [C]are
When you're lying in my [G]arms
[Am]Baby, you don't ever have [F]to
Go faster than your [C]fastest pace
Or faster than my [G]fastest cars
 
--Pre-chorus 1--
[Am]I shouldn't have done it but I read it in your letter
[F]You said to a friend that you wish you were doing better
[C]I wanted to reach out but I never said a [G]thing
[Am]I shouldn't have done it but I read it in your letter
[F]You said to a friend that you wish you were doing better
[C]I wanted to call you but I didn't say a [G]thing (two, three, four)
 
--Chorus 1--
[Am]Ohh-oh, I'll pick you [G]up
If you come back to [F]America, just hit me [G]up
'Cause this is [Am]crazy love, I'll catch you on the [G]flipside
If you come back to [F]California, you should just hit me [G]up
 
--Post-chorus 1--
We'll do [Am]whatever you want, travel wherever, have fun
We'll hit up [G]all the old places
We'll have a [F]party, we'll dance [G]till dawn
I'll pick up [Am]all of your Vogues and all of your Rolling Stones
Your favorite [G]liquor off the top-shelf
I'll throw a [F]party, all [G]night long
 
--Verse 2--
[Am]You don't ever have [F]to
Be stronger than you really [C]are
When you're lying in my [G]arms
And [Am]honey, you don't ever have [F]to
Act cooler than you think you [C]should
You're brighter than the [G]brightest stars
 
--Pre-chorus 2--
You're [Am]scared to win, scared to lose
I've [F]heard the war was over if you really [C]choose
The one in and [G]around you
You [Am]hate the heat, you got the blues
You're [F]changing like the weather, oh, that's so like [C]you
The Santa Ana [G]moves you (two, three, four)
 
--Chorus 2--
[Am]Ohh-oh, I'll pick you [G]up
If you come back to [F]America, just hit me [G]up
'Cause this is [Am]crazy love, I'll catch you on the [G]flipside
If you come back to [F]California, you should just hit me [G]up
 
--Post-chorus 2--
We'll do [Am]whatever you want, travel wherever, have fun
We'll hit up [G]all the old places
We'll have a [F]party, we'll dance [G]till dawn
I'll pick up [Am]all of your Vogues and all of your Rolling Stones
Your favorite [G]liquor off the top-shelf
I'll throw a [F]party, all [G]night long
 
--Outro--
[Am]Ohh-oh, I'll pick you [G]up
If you come back to [F]America, just hit me [G]up
'Cause this is [Am]crazy love, I'll catch you on the [G]flipside
If you come back to [F]California, you should just hit me [G]up
