Chorus:
     D#       A#m
Oh Columbo, Columbo
     G#sus4
It's time for us to say goodbye
     G#
But hold your tears
Don't you cry
  D#       A#m
Columbo, Columbo
     G#sus4
I'll see you on the other side
G#m
We'll go for a sunset ride
    D#/A#      A#
You wait, someday
      D#7/G            G#
We'll drive the world away
A#sus4                    D#
On the pacific coast Highway

             Fm D#/G G#
You pretty thing
      A#
All chemicals and nuts and bolts
         D#             A#/D            Cm
Yet I'd brave the cold just to hear you sing
          Fm  D#/G G#
We had a plan
   A#
To get away from Silverlake
         D#
And try not to brake
     A#/D           Cm
All the way to San Fran
            Fm9   D#/G G# A#
We'll take it slow
    D#/G       G7b9/B     Cm           C#maj7 G#maj9
Cos you are as old as the songs on the stereo

Chorus:
Oh, Columbo, Columbo
It's time for us to say goodbye
Hold your tears and don't you cry
Columbo, Columbo
I'll see you on the other side
We'll go for a sunset ride, you wait
Someday we’ll drive the world away
On the Pacific Coast Highway

Things come and go
So easily, like liberty
You meant more to me than somethin’ bought or sold
You were born in '81
Forty years and I’m the one
Who crashed you, under the settin' sun

But there you go
You will live on as a song on the stereo

Chorus:
Oh, Columbo, Columbo
It's time for us to say goodbye
Hold your tears and don't you cry
Columbo, Columbo
I’ll see you on the other side
We'll go for a sunset ride, you wait
Someday we'll drive the world away
On the Pacific Coast Highway

On the Pacific Coast Highway
On the Pacific Coast Highway
