Ab....Eb/G....G7....Abmaj7

C.....G/B.....Am...G..F..............................Em......Dm
East meets west, different drummers side by side
..............C....G/B...Am..G..F..............................Em...Dm
When east meets west, the best of both survive

G..................................F.........G...................................F......C
From the nights in Hollywood, to the lights on Broadway
G..........................F........G...............Am............Bb
Some said we never could ever cross that line
Dm...................C........G/B................C
I remember hanging out in sixty-two
Dm................................C...G/B
Down at the diner scorin' all the time
C...........................G/B...Am.........................G/B
Way out in California where the surf was up
C.............................G/B.........Am
You had a woodie and the girls would stand in line
Dm............................C..........G/B..........................C
We were the kings of the things we liked to do
Dm...............C....G/B.............Am..........F....Am..........F
A game of rivalry between me and you, me and you

G..............................F..........G.....................................F...C
Riding down the Jersey shore, riding 'round La Jolla
G..................F.......G................Am....Bb
Top Forty evermore on the radio
Dm.......................C........G/B.......................C
Got the rhythm of the breakers in my blood
Dm.........................C.......G/B
I take it with me everywhere I go
C.............................G/B...Am............G/B
I need to feel the inner city energy
C.............................G/B......Am
Can't do without it it's the only way I know
Dm....................................C.......G/B......................C
There's no goodbye to all the ties that bind us to
Dm.....................C.....G/B...Am..........F....Am.........F
The way we'll always be, me and you, me and you
