[Verses]
Gyou were on my Cmind at least nine Gtenths of yesterDday
it Gseemed as if perChaps I'd gone inDsane
Gwhat is it aCbout you that has Gcommandeered my Dbrain?
Gmaybe it's your Cawesome songs or Gmaybe it's the Dway
when I Clook at your face I can tell that you're not going to be stopping soon or even slowing
Ddown
and if we Ckeep up this pace pretty soon we'll know the name of every kid and every grown up
booking Dhouse shows in their Gtown
and if Ghome is really where the Cheart is
then we're the Gsmartest kids I Dknow
because wherGever we are in this Cgreat big world
we'll never Gbe more than a Dfew hours from Ghome
and that's imGportant because I need to Ctravel
I've had this Gitching in my shoes since I was Djust a little kid
and beGfore I had a mini van I Crode the Greyhound bus
my mom would Gsay "I hope some Cday you get Gpaid for being DKimya Dawson"
G  C  G  D

Dand now I do and it's not Gmuch
but it's eCnough
I've got my SGcrabble game, food on my plate, good Dfriends and family
and now there's Gyou understanding why I Cdo the things I do
knowing Gthat you do them Dtoo makes me really Ghappy
on the Groad again
just can't wait to get on the Croad again
the life I love is makin' Dmusic with my friends
and CI can't wait to get Don the road Gagain
on the Groad again
just can't wait to get on the Croad again
the life I love is makin' Dmusic with my friends
and CI can't wait to get Don the road Gagain
from a Gdistance, the Cworld looks blue Dand grGeen
and the Csnow capped Dmountains Gwhite
from a Gdistance, the Cocean Dmeets the strGeam
and the Ceagle Dtakes to flGight
(whispered)
GDarkness imprisoning me
All that I see
Absolute horror
I cannot live
I cannot die
Trapped in myself
Body my holding cell
Gdo do do do do do do
Cdo do do do do do do
Ddo do do do do do do
Gdo do do do do do do
GI'll be Cyour cryin' shoulder
GI'll be Dlove's suicide
GI'll be Cdo do do do doo doo
GI'll be the gDreatest man of Gyour life
'cause I like Ggoing for hikes and Criding bikes
playing Gvideo games in the Dmiddle of the night
and I'll Gstay up late and I Cwont even care
that we're Ggetting up early to go Dto the state fair
I'm gonna Gride the biggest ride it'll Cbe out of sight
then I'll Gshare an elephant ear with you Dif you'd like
because we Gare alive so we've Cgotta live life
to the Gfullest you Dspin the bottle Gand I'll dim the lights
for five, six, seven minutes in the closet
Gyou were on my Cmind at least nine Gtenths of yesterDday
it Gseemed as if perChaps I'd gone inDsane
Gwhat is it aCbout you that has Gcommandeered my Dbrain?
Gmaybe it's your Cawesome songs or Gmaybe it's the Dway
you go Cstraight to the top you're not scared of getting squashed
you know just when to jump off
you're Dso brave
and then you Crun to the right it seems there's no hope in sight
and you drop down to the tube that takes you Dright to level Geight
Glife is a highway and CI'm gonna ride it
Gevery day's a Dwinding road yeah
Gmy rollercoaster's got the Cbiggest ups and downs
as Glong as it keeps Dgoing round its Gunbelievable
Glife is a highway and CI'm gonna ride it
Gevery day's a Dwinding road yeah
Gmy rollercoaster's got the Cbiggest ups and downs
as Glong as it keeps Dgoing round its Gunbelievable

[Verses]

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

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

D G

booking house shows in their town

G C

and if home is really where the heart is

G D

then we're the smartest kids I know

G C

because wherever we are in this great big world

G D G

we'll never be more than a few hours from home

G C

and that's important because I need to travel

G D

I've had this itching in my shoes since I was just a little kid

G C

and before I had a mini van I rode the Greyhound bus

G C G D

my mom would say "I hope some day you get paid for being Kimya Dawson"

G C G D

G C

D G

and now I do and it's not much

but it's enough

G D

I've got my Scrabble game, food on my plate, good friends and family

G C

and now there's you understanding why I do the things I do

G D G

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

C D G

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

C D G

and I can't wait to get on the road again

G C D G

from a distance, the world looks blue and green

C D G

and the snow capped mountains white

G C D G

from a distance, the ocean meets the stream

C D G

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

G C

I'll be your cryin' shoulder

G D

I'll be love's suicide

G C

I'll be do do do do doo doo

G D G

I'll be the greatest man of your life

G C

'cause I like going for hikes and riding bikes

G D

playing video games in the middle of the night

G C

and I'll stay up late and I wont even care
