[Intro 1]
(One, two, three, four)
[Am][F][C][G][E]

[Verse 1]
[Am]You don't ever have to[F]
be stronger than you really [C]are
When you're lying in [G]my arms, baby
[Am]You don't ever have to[F]
go faster than your fas[C]test pace
Or faster than my fas[G]test cars

[Pre-chorus 1]
[Am]I shouldn't have done it,
but I read it in your letter
[F]You said to a friend
that you wish you were doing better
[C]I wanted to reach out,
but I never said a [G]thing
[Am]I shouldn't have done it,
but I read it in your letter
[F]You said to a friend
that you wish you were doing better
[C]I wanted to call you,
but I didn't say a [G]thing

[Chorus 1]
Two, three, four
[Am]Oh, I'll pick you [G]up
If you come back to A[F]merica,
just hit me [G]up
'Cause this is [Am]crazy love,
I'll catch you on the [G]flip side
If you come back to Cali[F]fornia,
you should just hit me [G]up
We'll do what[Am]ever you want,
travel wherever how far
We'll hit up [G]all the old places
We'll have a [F]party, we'll dance [G]'til dawn
I'll pick up [Am]all of your Vogues
and all of your Rolling Stones
Your favorite [G]liquor off the top shelf
I'll throw a [F]party all [G]night long

[Verse 2]
[Am]You don't ever have to[F]
be stronger than you really [C]are
When you're lying in [G]my arms, honey
[Am]You don't ever have to[F]
act cooler than you think [C]you should
You're brighter than the brigh[G]test stars

[Pre-chorus 2]
You're [Am]scared to win, scared to lose
I've [F]heard the war was over
if you really choose
[C]The one in and aro[G]und you
You [Am]hate the heat, you got the blues
[F]Changing like the weather,
oh, that's so like you
[C]The Santa Ana mov[G]es you

[Chorus 2]
(two, three, four)
[Am]Oh, I'll pick you [G]up
If you come back to A[F]merica,
just hit me [G]up
'Cause this is [Am]crazy love,
I'll catch you on the [G]flip side
If you come back to Cali[F]fornia,
you should just hit me [G]up
We'll do what[Am]ever you want,
travel wherever how far
We'll hit up [G]all the old places
We'll have a [F]party, we'll dance [G]'til dawn
I'll pick up [Am]all of your Vogues
and all of your Rolling Stones
Your favorite [G]liquor off the top shelf
I'll throw a [F]party all [G]night long

[Outro 1]
[Am]Oh, I'll pick you [G]up
If you come back to A[F]merica,
just hit me [G]up
'Cause this is [Am]crazy love,
I'll catch you on the [G]flip side
If you come back to Cali[F]fornia,
you should just hit me [G]up
