Fmaj7                                          Am7
Weed smoke, windows up, sittin' in the parking lot (Parking Lot)
                                 G
You bring your friend along but we all know she talks a lot
 Dm7
Neighbors at the balcony, I'm prayin' they don't call the cops
You gettin' paranoid, I whip around the block

You want me to air it out
You tell me it's gettin' hot
You smoke about half a J,
I cannot retrace my thoughts
All these run on sentences,
tell me what the difference is
Which one do you prefer?
Sativa or Indica?

Chorus:
Fmaj7
Backseat
                             Am7
I'm the one you need to be around
G                        Dm7
'Cause I won't bring you down
No, I won't bring you down
No, I won't ever bring you down
Em7             Fmaj7
You don't gotta ask me
                           Am7
Already know what I will provide
G                      Dm7
No, I won't steer you wrong
No, I won't steer you wrong
No, I won't give you the runaround

Em7        Fmaj7
Say yes or no
Only if you wanna
            Am7
'Bout that time
                G
Time for me to roll up
Em7    Dm7
Yeah, hm-mm

Whippin' around three deep, we're sittin' in my Jeep
Oh, it's been a stressful week, I could use the company
Searchin' for some inner peace, you still feel incomplete
You start to question shit like what's the point in anything

You want me to air it out
You tell me it's gettin' hot
We smoke half a J, I cannot retrace my thoughts
All these run on sentences, what the difference is?
Which one do you prefer?
Sativa or Indica?

Chorus:
Backseat
I'm the one you need to be around
'Cause I won't bring you down
No, I won't bring you down
No, I won't ever bring you down
You don't gotta ask me
Already know what I will provide
No, I won't steer you wrong
No, I won't steer you wrong
No, I won't give you the runaround

Say yes or no
Only if you wanna
'Bout that time
Time for me to roll up

Say yes or no
Only if you wanna
'Bout that time
Time for me to roll up, yeah
Yeah, hm-mm
