*VERSE*
D2 D2/C
I study up my hollow
D2
Piece of wood to follow
D2/C
A day that doesn't come
To the lucky
D2 D2/C
And I realize there's tomorrow
D
But I would rather wallow
D2/C
In the rain then moods that seem
So pot-lucky
[Refrão]*PRE-Chorus 1*
G
Well I'm cruising El Paseo
D2
In my off-white coup back '65
G
Or I'm cruisin down my own street
And my hooptie says to me
Em
You better hang on to your bench seat
Asus A
I'm gonna take you for a ride
[Refrão]

And I'll let you know

Don't wait up for me
G Gm
If I'm not home
*VERSE 2*
D2 D2/C
So I wait for fate to find me
D2
A ball of string unwind me
D2/C
Uncomfortable as a centerfold
D2 D2/C
And I realize your behind me
D2
To help and humankind me
D2/C
To see my songs can be retold
[Refrão]*PRE-Chorus 2*
G
Well I'll be gone tomorrow
Yes I'm on the road tomorrow
Em
So next time that I see you in school
Asus A
It won't be for too long
Repeat Chorus

*VERSE 3 and PREChorus 3*
G
And I want a leather jacket
D2
But only if I have the time
G
Well, I'll comb my hair like Elvis
And grab an old Gretch 59
Em
And you'd hardly recognize me if you
Asus
Saw me from behind
*MISC*
D2
And I'll let you know
