      F              C/E           A#
You know that restaurant on highway 1
          F                 C/E
With the key lime pie that song
                  A#
the sand and the sun
         Gm                C/E
Where we ran in our bare feet
        Gm             C/E
Built a castle on the beach
          D#                  A#/D              A# C
Just the wind, the rocks, the waves and you and me

Chorus:
         F
I can't go there
       Dm
Cause that's just too much us
        A#
I can't go there
Gm                 C/E
I still feel your touch
        D#            Gm
Theres places in my heart and here
      D#           Gm
that feel as empty as our bed
    D#                A#             C
So most nights i don't even walk upstairs
               F     C A#
Cause I can't go there

Remember San Francisco on that cable car
Our reflection in the window of that store
How we danced the night away
With the lights out on the bay
Then wound up in a blanket on the floor

Chorus:
I can't go there
'Cause Frisco's too much us
I can't go there
I still feel your touch
Now there's places in my heart and head
That still feel as empty as our bed
So most nights I don't even walk upstairs
'Cause I can't go there

If it was only Florida or California
Maybe I could let myself move on
But it's everywhere we've been
And everywhere I turn
I can't love again
Because I've learned

Chorus:
That I can't go there
It's something I can't do
I can't go there
I'll run into you
I can't go there
When the sun shines, when it rains
Christmas parties, football games
I can't go there
Winter, summer, fall or spring
I see you in everything
I can't go there
It's too much us
I can't go there
