Verse 1:

Am 
I was making Japanese
          Em
And she's watching DVDs
   C           D
In Oakland, in Oakland
        Am
Now I'm driving up the 5
        Em
And she waits till I arrive
   C           D
In Oakland, in Oakland
Am          
Everything, that I wanted
Em
Only gotta drive for the moment
C    
If you tell me "turn around," then I'm on it
D
For the moment, but you know me
Am
You know how I get when I'm lonely
Em
I think about you and the moments
C                                    D
But everything you do is so Oakland, so Oakland


Chorus:

Am
Foot on the gas
         Em
I'm just trying to pass
        C
All the red lights
        D
And the stop signs
    Am
I'm ready to go
         Em
Before I get to The Bay, Babe, that's a problem
C
Because I'm way too scared to call
       D
And you might get me to stay, no


Verse 2: 

        Am
I don't really want to drive
      Em
But I think I'd rather die
   C           D
In Oakland, in Oakland
        Am
With my hands on two and ten
     Em
So I guess it all depends
   C           D
On Oakland, on Oakland
        Am
And I'm nervous, truth be told
        Em
I never saw me growing old
   C           D
In Oakland, in Oakland
         Am
And if I married you tonight
         Em
It would probably start a riot
   C           D
In Oakland, in Oakland

Verse 3: 

Am
Everything, that I needed
      Em
Now I finally got you in your feelings
C
Everything you won't say, you tweet it
D                                Am
And a nigga don?t like that sh*t at all
Am
So retreating
Em
Can we just roll with the feeling?
C
Can we just roll for a minute?
D
Wait a minute

Chorus 2:

     Am
Foot on the gas
         Em
I'm just trying to pass
        C
All the red lights
        D
And the stop signs
    Am
I'm ready to go
        Em
And I'm really not ready girl, that's a problem
C
Because I'm way too scared to call
        D
And you might get me to stay, no

Bridge:

Am
All the girlfriends saying "here we go again"
Em
Rich kid but he act like a gentleman
C
Last one didn't end like it should've been
D
Two dates and he still wanna get it in
Am
And you're saying it's because of the Internet
Em
Try once and it's on to the next chick
C                             D
X-O the O face on your exes...right?
                             
And we can do the same 
Am
thing if you wanna have better
                         Em
When your thoughts can't breathe and you thinking asthmatic
                   C
And you wanna be a mom and I wasn't mad at her
                     D              
I was thinking 'bout me, I'd be really bad at it
                         Am
Cause I'm thinking 'bout me, weeks in Dubai
          Em                                C
Fourth of July, house in Kauai, yeah we can try
         D
So let's try

Verse 4: 

(Intro 2x)
       Am
I took off my nine to five
         Em
But you still don't have the time to 
C             D
kiss me (just hit me)
         Am
And if I left you all alone, 
          Em
would you still pick up the phone
     C         D
It's iffy, you miss me
      Am                                 Em
I got furniture to move, and we'll both be thirty soon  
   C           D
In Oakland, in Oakland
         Am
The only one I know is you, 
       Em

In Oakland, in Oakland [x8]
