Skateaway

         D                         
I seen a girl on a one-way corridor
 G C

                 D              G  
Stealing down a wrong-way street
C  G

D                           G     
  For all the world like an urban 
 C
toreador
        D         G C          G
She had wheels on,  on her feet
D                 G      C
  The cars do the usual dances
D                          G     
  Same old cruise and the 
   C     G
kerbside crawl
D                            G   
  But the Rollergirl, she's 
   C
taking chances
D               G      C         
  Just love to see her   take them 
  G
all

[Pre-chorus]
A            C                   
  No fears alone at night, she's 
Em                   G
sailing through the crowd
A                   C            
  In her ears the phones are 
            G               A
tight, and the music's playing loud

[Verse 2]
D          G C               D
  Hallelujah,  here she comes
D              G   C  G
  Queen rollerball
D              G C
  And "Enchanté",  what can I say
D         G   C   G
  Care at all
D               G               
  You know, she used to have to wait
C
 around
                    D         G C  G
She used to be the lonely one
D                   G  C
  But now that she can   skate 
around town
D               G  C    G
  She's the only,   only one

[Chorus]
C      D    G
  She gets rock n roll, on a rock n 
roll station
Em
  And a rock n roll dream
C                     Am         
  She's making movies    on 
    G/D
location
               D
She don't know what it means
         G
And the music make her wanna be the 
story
          Em
And the story was whatever was the 
song, what it was
C             Am            G/D
  Rollergirl,   don't worry
               D     Em     D

[Verse 3]
D      G        C
  She tortures taxi drivers just for
 fun
D                            G C  G
  She like to read their lips
D                    G   C
  Says, "Toro, toro taxi,  see ya 
tomorrow my son"
D                      G   C    
  She just let a big truck   
             G
grease her hip,   ah!
D                  G            
  She got her own world in the city,
C

D                       G   C   
  You can't intrude on her,   
    G

D             G    C
  She got her own world in the city
D                 G   C          G
  The city's been so rude to her

[Pre-chorus]
A            C                   
  No fears alone at night, she's 
Em                   G
