This is the chord progression of Topanga by Noah Cyrus on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar and Keyboard.

[Verse 1]
G D C
I can’t drive Topanga anymore
Cause it reminds me of you
G D C
Said we’d buy a big house there someday
But we never got to
Am D Em
Cause you, and me, and life got in the way
C D Em
I cant drive Topanga home today
G D C
I can’t wash with that soap anymore
Because it smells just like you
G D C
And I still got your shirts stucked in the drawer
Because they smell just like you
Am D Em
Hopes, and dreams, and the promises we made
C D Em
Down the drain, they all got washed away

[Chorus]
C D G
Funny how, we’re strangers now, and we’re different
C D G
And the strengths of time could turn sweet love to indifference
C D Em C
Ya I guess we lied when you and I said “We will try to focus on forgiveness”
D
And I can’t forget it

[Verse 2]
G D C
One of our friends say you got a girl
And that she looks just like me
G D C
Calabasas, too small of a world
But I don’t wanna see it
Am D Em
So I’ll stay inside where I know that I’m safe
C D Em
Cause you only live a couple miles away

[Verse 3]
G D C
I dont drive Topanga anymore
‘Cause it reminds me of you
G D C
Smoking and singing love songs in the garden
Like we always used to
Am D Em
And I drive by, I turn my eyes and hide
C D Em
Cause when I pass Topanga, now I cry
C D Em
‘Cause Topanga just reminds me of you and I
C D Em
Yeah, tears fall, Topanga in my mind

[Outro]
C D Em
Tears fall, Topanga in my mind
C D Em
Topanga in my mind
