Telegraph Ave / Sober
Capo 1
CI was making Japanese
And she's Gwatching DVDs
In BmOakland, in OEmakland
Now I'm Cdriving up the 5
And she Gwaits till I arrive
In BmOakland, in OEmakland
CEverything, that I wanted
GOnly gotta drive for the moment
BmIf you tell me "turn around," then I'm on it
EmFor the moment, but you know me
CYou know how I get when I'm lonely
EmI think about you and the moments
BmBut everything you do is so Oakland, sEmo Oakland
CFoot on the gas
I'm just Gtrying to pass
All the Bmred lights
And the Emstop signs
I'm Cready to go
Before I Gget to The Bay, Babe, that's a problem
BmBecause I'm way too scared to call
And you Emmight get me to stay, no
CAll the girlfriends saying "here we go again"
GRich kid but he act like a gentleman
BmLast one didn't end like it should've been
EmTwo dates and he still wanna get it in
CAnd you're saying it's because of the Internet
GTry once and it's on to the next chick
BmX-O the O face on your exes...rEmight?
And we can do the Csame thing if you wanna have better
When your thoughts can't Gbreathe and you thinking asthmatic
And you wanna be a Bmmom and I wasn't mad at her
I was thinking 'bout Emme, I'd be really bad at it
Cause I'm thinking 'bout Cme, weeks in Dubai
Fourth of GJuly, house in Kauai, yeah we can Bmtry
So let's Emtry
CAnd now that's it's Gover
I'll never be Bmsober
I couldn't Embelieve, but now I'm so hiCgh
And now that's it'Gs over, I'll never be soBmber
I couldn't bEmelieve, but now I'm so hiCgh
    GNow I'm so hiBmgh
    EmNow I'm so higCh G

Daniela Andrade

Telegraph Ave / Sober

Capo 1

I was making Japanese

And she's watching DVDs

Bm Em

In Oakland, in Oakland

Now I'm driving up the 5

And she waits till I arrive

Bm Em

In Oakland, in Oakland

Everything, that I wanted

Only gotta drive for the moment

If you tell me "turn around," then I'm on it

For the moment, but you know me

You know how I get when I'm lonely

I think about you and the moments

Bm Em

But everything you do is so Oakland, so Oakland

Foot on the gas

I'm just trying to pass

All the red lights

And the stop signs

I'm ready to go

Before I get to The Bay, Babe, that's a problem

Because I'm way too scared to call

And you might get me to stay, no

All the girlfriends saying "here we go again"

Rich kid but he act like a gentleman

Last one didn't end like it should've been

Two dates and he still wanna get it in

And you're saying it's because of the Internet

Try once and it's on to the next chick

Bm Em

X-O the O face on your exes...right?

And we can do the same thing if you wanna have better

When your thoughts can't breathe and you thinking asthmatic

And you wanna be a mom and I wasn't mad at her

I was thinking 'bout me, I'd be really bad at it

Cause I'm thinking 'bout me, weeks in Dubai

G Bm

Fourth of July, house in Kauai, yeah we can try

So let's try

C G

And now that's it's over

I'll never be sober

Em C

I couldn't believe, but now I'm so high

G Bm

And now that's it's over, I'll never be sober

Em C

I couldn't believe, but now I'm so high

G Bm

Now I'm so high

Em C G

Now I'm so high

Bm Em

I took off my nine to five

But you still don't have the time to

Bm Em

kiss me just hit me

And if I left you all alone,

would you still pick up the phone

Bm Em

It's iffy, you miss me

C G

I got furniture to move, and we'll both be thirty soon

Bm Em

In Oakland, in Oakland

The only one I know is you,

so the hell I'm supposed to do?

Bm Em

In Oakland, in Oakland

C G

In Oakland, in Oakland

Bm Em

In Oakland, in Oakland

C G

In Oakland, in Oakland

Bm Em

In Oakland, in Oakland
