In My Room

Intro
Am
I've often heard
                  D7/F#
Though it sounds absurd
           C               G
There's a certain kind of person
                    Em
Who just to get a thrill...


Verse 1
Am                                 E7
Walks through the desert just for something to do
G                           D7/F#
Flies through the skies with no parachute
D7/F#                   C
Some folks climb to the highest mountain
Em                      G
Other folks bathe in Italian fountains


Verse 2
Am              E7
Swim to the icy polar caps
G                               D7/F#
Wearing nothing but shorts and a plastic cap
D7              C               Em      G
But I know a place where I can do all that


Chorus 1
        C               D7
In my room I have a stack of books
        F               G
Where worlds unfold if I just look
        C               D7
In my room I can go anywhere
        F               G
Just close my door and I am there
C                       D7
I can fight a ninja on my bed
F                       G
All I have to do is just knock him on the head
C               D7
There's nothing I can't do
F       C
In my room


Verse 3
Am                              E7
Some folks drag themselves to Timbuktu
G                               D7/F#
Just to see a monkey wearing funny shoes
D7/F#                     C
Some folks float all the way to China
Em                    G
For wonton soup in a Hong Kong diner


Verse 4
Am                              E7
They take lessons to be fluent in mouse
G                               D7/F#
Or go to Spain to learn to sew a blouse
D7                 C            Em         G
Well I can do all that without leaving my house


Chorus 2
        C               D7
In my room I have a stack of books
        F               G
Where worlds unfold if I just look
        C               D7
In my room I can go anywhere
        F               G
Just close my door and I am there
C                 D7
I can have Christmas in June
F                       G
Or build a rocket and walk on the moon
C             D7
I can do what I want to
F       C
In my room


Bridge
        E7                              C
In my room - my lamp becomes an Eiffle Tower
        E7                                         C
In my room - my dog wears a cape and has special powers
        E7                      D7
In my room - I spend hours and hours
              G                         E7        D7
Deep in the jungle playing with all the boys and girls



Chorus 3
        C             D7
In my room I have a stack of books
        F               G
Where worlds unfold if I just look
        C            D7
In my room I can go anywhere
        F               G
Just close my door and I am there
C                          D7
I can sneak around like a crafty raccoon
F                           G
Give me some pots and I'll play you a tune
C               D7
There's nothing I can't do
F       C
In my room
C               D7
There's nothing I can't do
F       C
In my room
