Lyrics

Drive west on (Cm7)Sun set to the (Eb9)sea.

Turn that jun gle (Dbmaj9)mu sic down,

just un til we’re (Gbmaj9)out of town.

This is no (Cm7)one night (Dm7)stand.

It’s a real oc (Bbm7)ca sion.

Close your eyes and you’ll (Cm7)be there.

that It’s (Eb)ev ’ry thing they (Bbmaj9)say,

the (E)end of a I per fect (Ebmaj9)day, dis tant (A7#5)lights from a cross the bay.

Bab y lon (Dm9)sis ters,

(Eb)shake it.

Bab y lon (Dm9)sis ters,

(Eb)shake it.

So fine, so young,

(Bbmaj9)tell me I’m the (Bbm7)on ly (Eb9)one.

Here come those (Dbmaj7)San ta An a winds a (B7)gain.

We’ll jog with (Cm7)show folk on the (Eb9)sand;

drink kirsch was ser (Dbmaj9)from a shell,

San Fran cis co (Gbmaj9)show and tell.

Well, I should (Cm7)know by (Dm7)now that it’s just a (Bbm7)spa sm,

like a Sun day in (Cm7)T.

J., that it’s (Eb)cheap, but it’s not (Bbmaj9)free,

that (E)I’m not what his used to (Ebmaj9)be, and that (A7#5)love’s not a game for three.

Bab y lon (Dm9)sis ters,

(Eb)shake it.

Bab y lon (Dm9)sis ters,

(Eb)shake it.

So fine, so young,

(Bbmaj9)tell me I’m the (Bbm7)on ly (Eb9)one.

Here come those (Dbmaj7)San ta An a winds a (B7)gain.

(B7)gain.
