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]

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]

[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

[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

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]

[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

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]
