[Intro 1]
[C][F]

[Verse 1]
He's walk[Am]in' a[C]way[F]
She's makin' [Am]a sta[C]nd[F]
She's movin' [C]to a new [G]life[C][F]
She's movin' [G]with a new [C]man[F]
Well I've got news [C]for her
[F]The kind that I can't say[Dm][G]
[F]Because I came to [C]my senses just
a [G]little [C]too late
[F][Csus4][C]

[Verse 2]
[F]
[Am]So I'll watch her dr[G]ive aw[F]ay
And I'll [C]wave [G]goodbye[Am]
And as her [G]tail lights [F]fade [G]into
the night sky
[Csus4][C]

[Verse 3]
[F]
[C]Say [F]hey, don't you leave
me [C]in [F]L.A. alone
Lover, [C]please [F]turn that car around
and [C]come back [F]home
[C]New [F]York is such a beautiful
[C]city I'm [F]sure
It's just too [C]far for my
Cali[F]fornia girl
[C]

[Verse 4]
[F]
She was [G]so [C]sweet[F]
And she [C]was so [F]kind
So leave it up [C]to [F]me
Not to make up [C]my mind [F]in time
So I guess she'll be [C]the one
To which [F]no one will ever [G]compare[F]
And I guess she couldn't wait
[C]on me forever, yeah
[F]

[Verse 5]
So I'll [Am]watch her [G]drive [F]away
[C]And I'll wave goodbye
[G]And[Am] as her tail li[G]ghts fade[F]
[C]into [G]the night sky
[F][Am][F]

[Verse 6]
Say [C]hey, [F]don't you leave
me in L.A. [C]alone[F]
Lover, [C]please [F]turn that car around
and [C]come [F]back home
New [C]York [F]is such a beautiful
[C]city I'm [F]sure
It's just too far [C]for my Cali[F]fornia girl
[C][F][Csus4][C]

[Verse 7]
[F]
Do you remem[C]ber when we used
[Csus4]to drive
With the win[C]dows [G]down?[C][Csus4][F]
[C]You remember how I used to hold you[F][Csus4]
[C]when the lights went out[Csus4]?[C][F]
Do you [C]re member when we
looked [F]at the stars
And listened to [C]the waves
come [F]down?

[Verse 8]
Do you [C]re member the good [F]times
Do you re[C]member the good [F]times
Do you re[C]member the good [F]times
'Cause I remember [Am]the [G]good times

[Verse 9]
[F]Say [C]hey, [G]don[F]'t you le[G]ave
me in [C]L.A. [G]alone[F]
Lover, [C]please please please [G]please,[F]
Turn [C]your car around and
come back [G]home[F]
[C]New York [F]is such a beautiful
[C]city I'm [F]sure
It's just too [C]far from Cali[F]fornia
Just too [C]far from Califor[F]nia
A little too [C]far from Califor
[F]nia [G]for me

[Outro 1]
For me
