Deric Ruttan - California Plates

Capo 3
C - Em - Am - F  C - Em - F

Verse 1 
F
Met you out on the west coast 
                                       C
Fell in love in Frisco and brought you home 
F
You said you loved this small town 
                                         C
We tried to put some roots down of our own 

        Am                 
But the city lights burned so bright 
         F
In your memory 
       Am
Guess they were always calling you 
 F
Away from me 


Chorus: 
C                 Em
Should be good to go
  Am               F 
I topped it off, I checked the oil 
          C 
There's a map on the dash, 
      Em                  F    G
But I guess you know your way 

      C                Em
And I have to laugh I guess 
        Am            F
As you point your Eldorado west 
     C
You changed my life 
     Em
You changed your name 
         F                  G          C 
But you never changed your California plates 

Em - Am - F

Verse 2: 
Bet you missed the beaches 
Warm ocean breezes rollin' in 
But I'll miss the cool nights 
Nothin' but the firelight on your skin 

Girl dry your eyes I know you tried 
To make it work 
But in your heart your still
A California girl 

Chorus: 

C - Em - F - G

And I have to laugh I guess 
As you point your Eldorado west 
You changed my life 
You changed your name 
But you never changed your California plates 
         F                  G          C 
No you never changed your California plates
