	C                 Gsus4            G 
	I've been away so long, I may go wrong and lose my way 
	C               F6 
	Do you know the way to San Jose?

	Put a hundred down and buy a car 
	C#m7/5-          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 
 
Chorus 2: 
 
	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
