[Verse 1]
       G               Am               C
She'll have California blonde hair and a California start
G                 Am
She's not from around here, but
C
Goodbyes break her heart
G
 She grew up in a sleepy little town
           C                                G
But the parents split up when the marriage went south
            Em
And now the kids are mean, but the streets are clean
        C
So they don't say a word

[Verse 2]
G                       Am                     C
 Leaves for college in about a month, she's got
                                     G
Bags to pack, and numbers to crunch, she's
      Am            B
Got a boy with long brown hair and she
C                                          Em
Seems to be the only thing he cares about

  But what he do
    Am           Em      G
For his backpack full of songs
              C
Take him with you
