My Rollercoaster Chords

i hope it's ok...


G                C             G                  D
you were on my mind at least nine tenths of yesterday
 G             C                  D
it seemed as if perhaps I'd gone insane
G        C             G                   D
what is it about you that has commandeered my brain?
G                       C        G              D
maybe it's your awesome songs or maybe it's the way
Em
when I look at your face I can tell that you're not going to be stopping soon 
                G
or even slowing down

Em
and if we keep up this pace pretty soon we'll know the name of every kid and 
Em
every grown up
                             G
booking house shows in their town

G        C         G               D
and if home is really where the heart is
G        C            G         D
then wer're the smartest kids I know
G          C          G         C         D
because wherever we are in this great big world
G                C                  G
we'll never be more than a few hours from home
G       C               G                D
and that's important because I need to travel
G                C                         G
I've had this itchin in my shoes since I was just a little kid
G            C                    G               D
and before I had a mini van I road the Greyhound bus
G         C                    G
my mom would say "I hope some day you get paid for being Kimya Dawson"

G                     Am
and now I do and it's not much
Bm
but it's enough
G                               C            G                    D
I've got my Scrabble game, food on my plate, good friends and family
G                   C                 G                 D
and now there's you understanding why I do the things I do
G                  C         G               D
knowing that you do them too makes me really happy

G
on the road again
                       Bm
just can't wait to get on the road again
                          Am
the life I love is makin' music with my friends
        C                         G
and I can't wait to get on the road again

G
on the road again
                       Bm
just can't wait to get on the road again
                          Am
the life I love is makin' music with my friends
        C                         G
and I can't wait to get on the road again

G             C            D              Em
from a distance, the world looks blue and green
 C             D             G
and the snow capped mountains white
G                C         D            Em
from a distance, the ocean meets the stream
   C       D             G
and the eagle takes to flight

G(whispered)

G
Darkness imprisoning me
G
All that I see
G
Absolute horror
G
I cannot live
G
I cannot die
G
Trapped in myself
G
Body my holding cell

G              C
do do do do do do do
do do do do do do do
do do do do do do do
do do do do do do do
G       C
I'll be your cryin' shoulder
G          D           C
I'll be love's suicide
G       C
I'll be do do do do do do
G                      D          C
I'll be the greatest man of your life

G          C                  G           D
'cause I like going for hikes and riding bikes
G                    C         G             D
and playing video games in the middle of the night
G         C               G         D
and I'll stay up late and I wont even care
G                C                G            D
that we're getting up early to go to the state fair
G               C                    G             D
I'm gonna ride the biggest ride it'll be out of sight
G                   C       G                     D
then I'll share an elephant ear with you if you'd like
G            C                G            D
because we are alive so we've gotta live life
G                  C        G                       D
to the fullest you spin the bottle and I'll dim the lights

(talk)
four five six seven minutes in the closet

G      C             G                        D
you were on my mind at least nine tenths of yesterday
G         C                 G
it seemed as if perhaps I'd gone insane
G         C            G                     D

G               C                           G
maybe it's your awesome songs or maybe it's the way
Em
you go straight to the top you're not scared of getting squashed

you know just when to jump off
G
you're so brave
Em
and then you run to the right it seems there's no hope in sight

                                          G
and you drop down to the tube that takes you right to level eight

G                                C
life is a highway and I'm gonna ride it
D
every day's a winding road yeah
G                                   C
my rollercoaster's got the biggest ups and downs
D                                     G
as long as it keeps goin' round its unbelievable

G                              C
