[Opening]
We [F]came out of the [C]cinema, we were [G]rubbing our [C]eyes
Our [F]mouths were [C]dry from the [G]sugar and [C]the popcorn
And we [F]felt a little [C]guilty
About [G]spending that [C]whole sunny day [F] [C]inside [G]
[verse 2]
The [F]movie we were [C]watching, about [G]Bonnie and [C]Clyde
They were [F]driving down a [C]backroad
They [G]thought they were [C]home free
The [F]police knew they were [C]coming
They were [G]hiding in the trees, and they [F]shot them [C]down
One [G]hundred and thirty [C]rounds, they [F]shot them [C]down [G]
[chorus]
[F]So we [C]might as well say [Am]
[G]What’s on our [F]minds, ’cause [C]there’s no way to know [Am]
When [G]it’s your time to go [F]when [G]it’s your time to go
[Closing]
[F]Later we were [C]walking on the [G]streets of [C]Monterey
The [F]trees beside the [C]water
[G]Reminded you of [C]childhood holiday[F]s [C]
[G]Hey babe, I know [C]the way, to a [F]little stretch of [C]beach
Where we could [G]lose ourselves
[chorus]
Don’t [F]matter where [C]you’ve been
You [G]jump into the [C]water and you [F]come out [C]clean [G]
Don’t [F]matter where [C]you’ve been
You [G]jump into this [C]water and you [F]come out [C]clean [G]
[chorus]
[F]So we [C]might as well say [Am]
[G]What’s on our [F]minds, ’cause [C]there’s no way to know [Am]
When [G]it’s your time to go [F]
When [G]it’s your [F]time [C]to go [G] [F] [C]
[G]There’s no way to know
[chorus]
Don’t [F]matter where [C]you’ve been
You [G]jump into the [C]water and you [F]come out [C]clean [G]
Don’t [F]matter where [C]you’ve been
You [G]jump into this [C]water and you [F]come out [C]clean [G]
