[Intro]
E  Esus4 E  Esus4

[Verse 1]
E      Esus4
We got in your car
    E
and we hit the
highway
E       Esus4
Eastern sun was
rising
 E
 over the mountains
           Asus2
Yellow and blood red
   Gbsus4  Asus2
bits
            E
like a kaleidoscope
  Esus4        E

E           Esus4
And flaming swords may
 E
 guard the garden of Eden
E      Esus4
But we consulted maps
     E
from earlier days
               Asus2
Dead languages on our
         Gbsus4  Asus2
 tongues
Holding on to our
         E  Esus4  E
 last hope

[Chorus]
         B
And the day was bright
and fine
        A
And the highway sign said,
      B             A        B
 “San Bernadino welcomes you”’
E

[Verse 2]
E            Esus4    E
I checked us into our motel
 and filled the bathtub
E           Esus4
And you got in the warm
      E
 warm water
I pulled rose petals
         Asus2  Gbsus4  Asus2
 from my pocket
               E
I loved you so much
           Esus4    E
 just then
E          Esus4
And it was hard but you
 were
 E
brave, you are splendid
E           Esus4    E
And we will never be alone
 in this world
           Asus2
no matter what they
   Gbsus4  Asus2
say
            E
We’re gonna be
      Esus4    E
okay

[Chorus]
        B
We were safe inside
             A
and our new son cried,
     B              A    B
“San Bernadino welcomes you”

[Outro]
A     B
