[Verse]
DHeld our hearts inside all wCinter
GDrive 12 hours West and Dlet it out
We’ll go Dout and we’ll Cfeel this alive
And we’ll Gbide our Dtime
[Verse]
We can Ccome up with a Gdance that makes the Dsummer last
CFind a whole new Glove as we jump iDnto fast
CI think I can Gcall this place a Dbrand new home
CThere’s something in my Gheart that says I Dshouldn’t though
[Verse]
DWhat’s so wrong with our own Cheaven
GThere’s no peace to find on Dsolid ground
DBut we drink and sing our Csongs through the night
And we’ll Gbide our Dtime
[Chorus]
We can Ccome up with a Gdance that makes the Dsummer last
CFind a whole new Glove as we jump iDnto fast
CI think I can Gcall this place a Dbrand new home
CThere’s something in my Gheart that says I Dshouldn’t though
COh Oh GOh         Dx 4
[Verse]
DIt’s not the night to say its Cover
GI’ll make my move when timing Dfeels right
DBut for now keep the CCalifornia night
And I’ll Gbide my Dtime
[Chorus]
We can Ccome up with a Gdance that makes the Dsummer last
CFind a whole new Glove as we jump iDnto fast
CI think I can Gcall this place a Dbrand new home
CThere’s something in my Gheart that says I Dshouldn’t though
