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.
