Walked from the subway down to the train
Brought your umbrellas so just in case it rains
Goodbye Chicago, I'll see you soon
Gone from November, I won't be back 'til June
You kept your secrets girl and I told you lies
No hiding places left for me to hide
We rode our bikes down to North McKinley Park
Carved our initials in the bark
Aahhh...
[D]Said you m[A]oved to town a[E]bout a week a[A]go
drove up fourteen hours from the north
Studied english literature but prefer foreign politics
So for now, you were going back and forth
made out of oak wood, and worn-out rail
the sign was hanging up by a rusted nail
Built in the winter of 1843
Pictures of men in denim shirts and worn-out jeans
But I just want to t[D]ake a taxi out of the city before you fall asleep
far from the p[E]iles and piles of garbage piled up in the street
Ignore the b[D]ums in cardboard boxes asking for money
I've got[E] to go, I've got to go
Aahhh...
Said you moved to town about a week ago
drove up fourteen hours from the north
Studied english literature but prefer foreign politics
So for now, you were going back and forth
[D]The story of an E[E]ast Coast girl
[C#m]Warm in her winter coat w[F#m]aiting for the sun to finally go down
Oh she's wondering what happened to that California sunshine she used to know
She used to know
[A]Hey! Hey! [E]O o-oh o-oh (x4)
