Verse 1
Am            Em
Come from the sun in San Marino
Em
Guess that makes me Angeleno
Em
Friends got married, had them dogs
D                   F
Now they read those catalogs
Am   Em
This commerce makes me nauseous (Ah)
Em
When did life get so damn cautious?
Em
So I drive in search of smiles
D
XM on, let's check out Miles


Pre-Chorus
Em
This slice of life when you're out on the road
          Am    Em                D          F
Is always extra nice when there's someone to hold


Chorus
C      Em
Ay-oh, way-oh
Am              D
Would you be my traffic jam?

Would you be mine?


Verse 2
Em
Anyway, I was headed south

Taste of coffee in my mouth
Em
Up that off-ramp 405
D
Angry drivers on both sides
Em
Got a call from my good friend Dave
Am                  Em
He said, "Yo, let's get that wave"
Em
I said, "Yes, just tell me where"
D               F
Board's up top, wind in my hair
Em
From the mind of Frida Kahlo
Em
Show me love and I will follow
Am                Em
From the words of my old man (Old man)
D
Conversations in the sand


Pre-Chorus
Em
This slice of life when you're out on the road

Oh, now, come and give me something to spread my bread onto (Onto)
              Em                            D      A          G
T-t-t, t-t-t, time and time again, we get a window and a clue
         Em               D        A
Time and time again, life-changing rendezvous


Verse 3
Em
Anyway, made a left on third
Em
Got distracted, jumped that curb
Em
Unaware and on her walk
  D
I hit the brakes, made time to talk
Am  Em
She said, "Can I get that ride?"

Oh my God, just get inside
Em
It was all that I imagined
D             F
Born to ride, enthusiasm

Packed our bags and headed west

PCH, I'm so impressed

My friends said, "Havin' fun yet?"

We drove off into the sunset
