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

G C G

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
life is a highway and I'm gonna ride it

every day's a winding road yeah
G C
my rollercoaster's got the biggest ups and downs
