[Verse 1]
C C/B Am G
Oh yeah, well, I’m not even guessing what your plans may be
C C/B Am G
Yeah, you’re twisted and you’re bent like you’re a Japanese tree
Em Em/G Em
Those are pretty long arms driving from the back seat
Em Em/G Em
Lay it on heavy like you’re sand on a beach
C C/B Am G
Yeah, you’re all ears, how hard could it be?
C C/B Am G
A cat in the grass, an eaves in the eaves
Em Em/G Em
Walking in my head like I am shoes on your feet
Em Em/G Em
You’re twisted and you’re bent like you’re a Japanese tree

[Chorus]
D
Well, you need a place to go
F#m
And I have a place to leave
Bm
We’ll split the gasoline
A
And sleep in the back seat
D
When can we leave?
F#m
Why can’t we leave?
Bm A
When can we leave?
D
Oh, you got it figured out
F#m
And I’ll learn eventually
Bm A
We’ll ditch our phones in the rest stop bathroom
D
When can we leave?

[Verse 2]
C C/B Am G
We have a knack for turning days into weeks full of
C C/B Am G
Pointless details just to crease up your sleeve
Em Em/G Em
You’re twisted and you’re bent like you’re a Japanese tree
Em Em/G Em
Yeah, you’re twisted and you’re bent like you’re a Japanese tree
C C/B Am G
Pointless details just to crease up your sleeves
C C/B Am G
Yeah, make up some news and then you believe what you read
Em
Yeah, lay it on heavy like it’s sand on a beach
Em
Yeah, lay it on heavy like it’s sand on a beach, yeah

[Chorus]
D
Well, you need a place to go
F#m
And I have a place to leave
Bm
We’ll split the gasoline
A
And sleep in the back seat
D
When can we leave?
F#m
When can we leave?
Bm A
When can we leave?
D
Oh, you got it figured out
F#m
And I’ll learn eventually
Bm A
We’ll ditch our phones in the rest stop bathroom
D
Why can’t we leave?
F#m
Why can’t we leave?
Bm
Why can’t we leave?
A
Why can’t we leave?

[Outro]
D
Well, you need a place to go
F#m
And I have a place to leave
Bm
So what do we need?
A
What do we need?
D
We’ll sleep in the back seat
F#m
And I’ll learn eventually
Bm
‘Cause you’ve got it figured out
A
So when can we leave?
D F#m
We ditched our phones in the rest stop bathroom
Bm
When can we leave?
A
Well, you need a place to go
D
But where can it be?
