[Intro]
A E F#m7 D
[Verse 1]
A
It's midnight in California

Been drinkin' all day with my friends

We met a group of pretty girls from Georgia

A couple guys from Amsterdam

It was all night or use my discretion
E
So I slipped out and slipped on home
F#m7
I was just gonna leave you a message
D
But I was so damn glad you picked up the phone 'cause
[Chorus]
A
Right now, I'm spinnin' like a barstool
E
Right now, I'm missin' your pretty smile
F#m7 D
In the back of a cab in the carpool lane
A
Goin' insane 'cause it's been a while

Since I told you that I love you, and I still do

Wish I was layin' right beside ya
F#m7
Just had to let you know, but I'll let you go
D A
I know it's 3 am in Carolina

A
Since I got you, there's some things that I wanna say
E
I didn't wanna leave you, didn't make me wanna stay
F#m7
Don't get me wrong, I made you cry more than I made you laugh
D
If I didn't, I wouldn't be here saying that
[Chorus]
A
Right now, I'm spinnin' like a barstool

Right now, I'm missin' your pretty smile

Get you back on the next LAX red-eye flight
