See I've been here [Am]for 28 years.
Pounding sweat [Em]beneath these wheels.
We tattooed lines [F]beneath our skin.
No surrender, [C]my Bobby Jean.[G]
We've been burned by [Am]all our fears.
Just from growing [Em]up around here.
Our father's factories [F]marked our cars.
While Eden [C]burned against the stars.[G]

You know I had [Am]these ballroom dreams.
That, as a [Em]child, came to me.
I was a boy [F]in Grandma's arms.
A mother's pride and [C]a wounded heart.[G]
And I was full with [Am]fiery wonder.
You wore Audrey [Em]Hepburn pearls.
You were the only [F]one who understood me then[C]
and the only one who will.[G]

We're going to [F]wash these sins away.
Or else we won't[C] come back again.[G]
Bridge
And now I [Am]drive the [G]101 on the [F]California [C]night.
And I'm [Am]amazed at all the [G]stars beneath that [F]old Hollywood [C]sign.
And we [Am]waltz, ballet up a [G]boulevard to a [F]place we never [C]kept
And I'm [Am]not sure if we [G]belong here, if I [F]ever really [C]left, or if I can go
[G]home
