How can I [Am] forget you?
[G] There is always something there dear and I miss you.

Out of those chains, those chains that bind [C] you.
That is why [F] I'm here to remind you.
Here to remind you.
Here to remind you.
Here to remind you.
[Bb] What do you get [Gm] when you fall in love?

When you said goodbye.
[D] [G] Bye.
[Gb]
[A] Do you know the way to San Jose?
I've been away [E] so long.
I don't know.
What?
[A] Do you know [D] the way to San [E] Jose?
I'm going back to find.
Some peace of mind in San [Dbm] Jose.
LA is [Gbm] a great big [Dbm] freeway.
Put [Gbm] on rent down and buy [Dbm] a car.
[Bb]
In a [D] week, maybe two, they'll make you [E] a star.
In a week, maybe two years, I'll quit the task.
[Bm] And all [Gbm] the stars, [Bm] they never were.
I [Db] parked in class [E] and popped the gas.
[Bm] [E] I've [D] lost some friends in San [A] Jose.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, [Gb] whoa, whoa, whoa, [A] whoa.
Can't wait [D] to get back to San Jose.
