C#m7(b5) Dm7/C G/B
In a week, maybe two, they'll make you a star
Dm7 G (N/C/; organ fills and
Weeks turn into years, how quick they pass bass continue)
And all the stars that never were
Are parking cars and pumping gas

Verse 2:
You can really breathe in San Jose
They've got a lot of space, there'll be a place where I can stay
I was born and raised in San Jose
I'm going back to find some peace of mind in San Jose
Fame and fortune is a magnet
It can pull you far away from home
With a dream in your heart you're never alone
Dreams turn into dust and blow away
And there you are without a friend
You pack your car and ride away
Break:
C F6 C
I've got lots of friends in San Jose (wo wo wo-wo wo wo wo-wo wo wo)
C F6 C
Do you know the way to San Jose? (wo wo wo-wo wo wo wo-wo wo wo)
