[Chorus]
EmSee I've been here for years
Pounding sweBmat beneath these wheels
We tattooed lCines beneath our skin
No surrender Gmy Bobby Jean D
[Verse 1]
See I've been here fEmor years
Pounding sweat Bmbeneath these wheels
We tattooed lines bCeneath our skin
No surrender myG Bobby Jean D
We've been burnEmed by all our fears
Just from growiBmng up around here
Our father's faCctories marked our cars
While Eden burnGed against the stars D
And Sally saidG Sally said
I can't take Emno more regret
It cut us deep iCnto our souls
Came and climbed iGnto our bed D
And Sally said SaGlly said
Meet me by theEm River's edge
We're going to wCash these sins away
Or else we won'tG come back again D
G Em C G D
[Verse 2]
You know I had Emthese ballroom dreams
That as a chiBmld came to me
I was a boy Cin Grandma's arms
A mother's pride and Ga wounded heart D
And I was full with fiEmery wonder
You wore Audrey HepbBmurn pearls
You were the only onCe who understood me then
and the Gonly one who will D
[Chorus 2]
And Sally saidG Sally said
I can't take Emno more regret
It cut us deep iCnto our souls
Came and climbed Ginto our bed D
And Sally said SaGlly said
Meet me by theEm River's edge
We're going to Cwash these sins away
Or else we won'tG come back again D
[Bridge]
And now I Emdrive the 1D 1 on the CCaliforniaG night
Em D C G
And I'm amazed at all the stars beneath that old Hollywood sign
Em D C G
And we waltz ballet up a boulevard to a place we never kept
Em D C G
And I'm not sure if we belong here if I ever really left or If I can go
hoDme.
[Outro]

Or else we won'tG come back again D
No retreatG No EmregreCts G D
