[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
       C
when I look at your face I can tell that you're not going to be stopping soon or even slowing
D
down
          C
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"

D                         G
and now I do and it's not much
          C
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

Continues after the ad
       G
on the road again
                              C
just can't wait to get on the road again
                          D
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
on the road again
                              C
just can't wait to get on the road again
                          D
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)
G
Darkness imprisoning me
All that I see
Absolute horror
I cannot live
I cannot die
Trapped in myself
Body my holding cell

G
do do do do do do do
C
do do do do do do do
D
do do do do do do do
G
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
           G                      D
that we're getting up early to go to the state fair
          G                           C
I'm gonna ride the biggest ride it'll be out of sight
          G                              D
then I'll share an elephant ear with you if you'd like
           G                  C
because we are alive so we've gotta live life
       G           D               G
to the fullest you spin the bottle and I'll dim the lights


for five, six, seven minutes in the closet

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
       C
you go straight to the top you're not scared of getting squashed
you know just when to jump off
      D
you're so brave

             C
and then you run to the right it seems there's no hope in sight
                                             D              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
G             D
every day's a winding road yeah
G                          C
my rollercoaster's got the biggest ups and downs
   G                D              G
as long as it keeps going round its unbelievable

G                     C
