[Intro]
Em7 G6 Cadd9 (2x)

[Verse 1]
            Em7                 G6         Cadd9
We almost crashed there in that LA County parking lot
         Em7           G6           Cadd9
Sweating in the San Fernando valley sun
            Em7          G6               Cadd9
I really fucked up the paint job on your little sister’s car
         Em7           G6              Cadd9
And I’m sorry for everything else I’ve done
           Em7      G6       Cadd9
So I’ll retreat back to the East Coast
          Em7                 G6         Cadd9
And be a good old Pennsylvania farmer’s son
                  Em7            G6              Cadd9
Yeah, I’m still living in that haunted house my parents bought
          Em7                 G6              Cadd9
Yeah, the one right by the battlefield where Washington won

[Chorus]
Em7 G6 Cadd9 (2x)
Oohs

[Verse 2]
             Em7             G6              Cadd9
Despite the memories  I’ve really learned to hate it here
             Em7            G6               Cadd9
In spite of every lesson learned in my young life
              Em7                 G6           Cadd9
I learned to drive there by the driveway in a tractor
              Em7           G6           Cadd9
I learned to love inside my car on muggy nights
         Em7                 G6           Cadd9
And I believe that there is some form of redemption
                 Em7          G6        Cadd9
Yeah, something gossamer that I can idealize
                  Em7                G6         Cadd9
Yeah, there’s a blizzard on the mountaintops in Aspen
          Em7             G6           Cadd9
And it’s raining every goddamn day in paradise

[Chorus]
Em7 G6 Cadd9 (2x)
Oohs

[Bridge]
  Cadd9   Dadd9add11   Cadd9  Dadd9add11   Cadd9
With every fiber of my being I fall further out of line
              G/E        C
But she says just look forward
G/E      C
Not behind
    Cadd9  Dadd9add11  Cadd9       Bmb6           Cadd9
And every figment I’ve imagined was forgotten over time
              G/E        C       Em7
But she says just look forward
     G6    F#mb6
Not behind

[Outro verse]
           Em7                  G6         Cadd9
We almost crashed there in that LA county parking lot
           Em7           G6         Cadd9
I’m still deciding if I really did survive
             Em7           G6              Cadd9
I read an avalanche just swallowed up the mountain
        Em7           G6      Cadd9
And a tidal wave ate paradise alive

[Outro]
 Em7 G6 Cadd9 (4x)
Oohs
