The Ride

Gm


[Verse 1]
Gm                       D
Everyone's too scared to open their 
eyes up
    Bb                        D
But everyone's too scared to close 
them
 Gm                        Bb
Everyone's frightened they don't 
know what's coming
      Gm/E                     D  
But everyone's frightened of 
        D7
knowing
 Ab                    Gm
Everyone's reading the rules of 
engagement
     D7                    Eb7
And everyone's starting to doubt 
them
    Gm                 Bb
Everyone's reaching to put on a 
seatbelt
    Eb                          C7
But this kind of ride comes without 
them


[Pre-Chorus]
  Ab                             
I want you to think of me sitting 
               Eb
and singing beside you
  Ab                               
I wish we could meet all the people
              Eb
 behind us in line
    Ab                        
The climb to the crest is less 
                             Eb
frightening with someone to clutch 
you
    Gm                       Bb
But isn't it nice when we're all 
                     Eb
afraid at the same time?


[Chorus]
                Bb
And it's just a ride
            Fm
It's just a ride
Gm                 Gm/F#         
And you've got the choice to get 
Gm/F        Gm/E     Eb
off anytime that you like
            Bb
It's just a ride
            Fm
It's just a ride
      Gm           Gm/F#
The alternative is nothingness
   Gm/F          Gm/E      Eb
We might as well give it a try

Gm


[Verse 2]
Gm                   D           
Everyone's terrified that they'll
              Bb                   
 be justified by the collapse that 
      D
will happen
 Gm                      Bb
Everyone's placing their bets just 
in case
            Gm/E            
The whole thing's a profound 
        D         D7
disappointment
     Ab               Gm       
Everyone's trying to stay on the 
                 D7                
side where the water's just boiling
        Eb
 more slowly
 Gm                        Bb
Frogs in a pot, well that's one 
thing I've got
          Eb                       
At least some of the frogs in here 
 C
know me

[Pre-Chorus]
   Ab                            
I want you to think of me sitting 
               Eb
and singing beside you
      Ab                         
The chain pulls us up and we know 
                      Eb
that we're all gonna dive
   Ab                        
The blur and the noise of the 
                             Eb
screaming can blind and distract you
     Gm                    Bb     
But isn't it nice when we all can 
                   Eb
scream at the same time?


[Chorus]
                 Bb
And it's just a ride
             Fm
It's just a ride
    Gm               Gm/F#      
And you've got the choice to get
Gm/F     Gm/E          Eb
 off anytime that you like
             Bb
It's just a ride
             Fm
It's just a ride
      Gm            Gm/F#
The alternative is nothingness
    Gm/F         Gm/E       Eb
We might as well give it a try


[Post-Chorus]
          Eb      Bb
And as we all go down
           Eb       Gm
And as we all go round
          Eb           Gm     F
And as we pitch from side to side
Cm            Bb         Eb
Everything is gonna be alright

[Verse 3]
  Gm                      D       
Everyone's getting real scared to 
                  Bb               
come out because coming out's going
       D
 down badly
  Gm                      
Feel the city breaking and 
 Bb
everybody's shaking
   Gm/E                     D      
And I just want someone to hold me
D7

 Ab                        Gm
Some are too scared to let go of 
their children
      D                        Eb7
And some are too scared now to have 
them
  Gm                Bb            
Suicide, homicide, genocide, man, 
         Gm/E                      
that's a fuck-ton of sides you can 
  C7
choose from


[Pre-Chorus]
  Ab                             
I want you to think of me sitting 
              Eb
and singing beside you
    Ab                             
I wish we could meet all the people
              Eb
 who got left behind
      Ab                           
The ride is so loud it can make you
                 Eb
 think nobody's listening
     Gm                    Bb     
But isn't it nice when we all can 
                 Eb
cry at the same time?


[Chorus]
                 Bb
And it's just a ride
             Fm
It's just a ride
    Gm               Gm/F#      
And you've got the choice to get
Gm/F      Gm/E          Eb
 off anytime that you like
             Bb
It's just a ride
             Fm
It's just a ride
      Gm            Gm/F#
The alternative is nothingness
    Gm/F         Gm/E       Eb
We might as well give it a try


[Post-Chorus]
          Eb      Bb
And as we all go down
          Eb      Gm
And as we all go round
            Eb         Gm      F  
And as we switch from side to side
 F7

 Cm            Bb           Eb
Everything is gonna be just fine
 Cm           Bb           Eb
Everyone you love is gonna die
 Cm             Bb           
Hopefully, this song will come 
    Eb
remind you

It's just a ride
           Gm       Gm/F#
From the sister you miss
        Gm/F      Gm/E          
To the father you don't want to

It's just a ride
            Fm
It's just a ride
         Gm       Gm/F#       
From the baby you lost to the

one that you're growing inside
          Cm
Come out darling
               Eb  Ebm
And don't you cry
