[Intro]
F#M E D A
[Verse]
F#m - E D A
On a razor's edge at the first sign of light
F#m E D A
The car was packed while the house was quiet
F#m E D A
And sister slept as we started the drive
F#m E
To California, where it's warmer
D A
Gonna start a new life
[Pre-Chorus]
E D
Gonna miss Ohio but this time
F#m E
We're gonna get it right
[Chorus]
A E
Station wagon tires flying
Bm F#m D A
Katie's counting crows through the tears in her blue eyes
F#m E A E
State lines and capitals go rushing by as I'm trying to find
Bm F#m
A station on the radio
D A E
Everything's gonna be better on the west coast
[Intro]
F#M E D A
[Verse]
F#m E D A
The days move fast on the northern plains
F#m E D A
And I read the maps, the prarie grass moved in the wind like waves
F#m E D A
We can't look back, some men you just can't save
F#m E D A
We had our reasons for leaving, it's better this way
[Pre-Chorus]
E D
Gonna miss Ohio but I'm not
F#m E
Gonna miss the rain
[Chorus]
A E
Station wagon tires flying
Bm F#m D A
Katie's counting crows through the tears in her blue eyes
F#m E A E
State lines and capitals go rushing by as I'm trying to find
Bm F#m
A station on the radio
D A E
Everything's gonna be better on the west coast
D A E
Better than the mess that we left back home
A E F#m D
in O - Hi - Oooo
A E F#m D
O - Hi - Oooo
[Bridge]
Bm E
Goodbye blue house, goodbye red door
Bm E
Abandoned worlds where we drink on weekends
Bm E
This magnet's pulling from the ocean floor
Bm E
I can't forget the way you looked when we were leaving
[Chorus]
A E
Tires flying
Bm F#m D A
Katie's counting crows through the tears in her blue eyes
F#m E A E
State lines and capitals go rushing by as I'm trying to find
Bm F#m
A station on the radio
D A E
Everything's gonna be better on the west coast
D A E
Better than the mess that we left back home
A E F#m D
in O - Hi - Oooo
A E F#m D
O - Hi - Oooo
[Outro]
A
Ohio
