My Rollercoaster Tab

by Kimya Dawson


Correct chords but for some reason they might not be positioned above the right 
word when it's posted. But you can work it out. Simple pimple song.

      
    
      
    

                                            
you were on my mind at least nine tenths of yesterday
                                
it seemed as if perhaps I'd gone insane
                                                 
what is it about you that has commandeered my brain?
                                 
maybe it's your awesome songs or maybe it's the way

when I look at your face I can tell that you're not going to be stopping soon or even slowing

down

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

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

       
      
      
    

            
and now I do and it's not much

but it's enough
                         
I've got my Scrabble game, food on my plate, good friends and family
                                 
and now there's you understanding why I do the things I do
                            
knowing that you do them too makes me really happy


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


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

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

(whispered)

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

                               
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

      
I'll be your cryin' shoulder
      
I'll be love's suicide
       
I'll be du nu du nu du du
                     
I'll be the greatest man of your life

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


for five, six, seven minutes in the closet

                                        
you were on my mind at least nine tenths of yesterday
                        
it seemed as if perhaps I'd gone insane
                                
what is it about you that has commandeered my brain?
                                  
maybe it's your awesome songs or maybe it's the way

you go straight to the top you're not scared of getting squashed
you know just when to jump off
     
you're so brave


and then you run to the right it seems there's no hope in sight
                            
and you drop down to the tube that takes you right to level eight

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

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