[Intro]
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 D7 But everyone's frightened of 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 Eb I want you to think of me sitting and singing beside you Ab Eb I wish we could meet all the people behind us in line Ab Eb The climb to the crest is less frightening with someone to clutch you Gm Bb Eb But isn't it nice when we're all afraid at the same time?
[Chorus]
Bb And it's just a ride Fm It's just a ride Gm Gm/F# Gm/F Gm/E Eb And you've got the choice to get 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
[Instrumental]
Gm
[Verse 2]
Gm D Bb D Everyone's terrified that they'll be justified by the collapse that will happen Gm Bb Everyone's placing their bets just in case Gm/E D D7 The whole thing's a profound disappointment Ab Gm D7 Eb Everyone's trying to stay on the side where the water's just boiling more slowly Gm Bb Frogs in a pot, well that's one thing I've got Eb C At least some of the frogs in here know me
[Pre-Chorus]
Ab Eb I want you to think of me sitting and singing beside you Ab Eb The chain pulls us up and we know that we're all gonna dive Ab Eb The blur and the noise of the screaming can blind and distract you Gm Bb Eb But isn't it nice when we all can scream at the same time?
[Chorus]
Bb And it's just a ride Fm It's just a ride Gm Gm/F# Gm/F Gm/E Eb And you've got the choice to get 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
[Instrumental]
Gm Gm Gm/F# Gm/F Eb Ab Db Db7 Bb Eb
[Verse 3]
Gm D Bb D Everyone's getting real scared to come out because coming out's going down badly Gm Bb Feel the city breaking and everybody's shaking Gm/E D D7 And I just want someone to hold me 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 Gm/E C7 Suicide, homicide, genocide, man, that's a fuck-ton of sides you can choose from
[Pre-Chorus]
Ab Eb I want you to think of me sitting and singing beside you Ab Eb I wish we could meet all the people who got left behind Ab Eb The ride is so loud it can make you think nobody's listening Gm Bb Eb But isn't it nice when we all can cry at the same time?
[Chorus]
Bb And it's just a ride Fm It's just a ride Gm Gm/F# Gm/F Gm/E Eb And you've got the choice to get 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 F7 And as we switch from side to side Cm Bb Eb Everything is gonna be just fine Cm Bb Eb Everyone you love is gonna die Cm Bb Eb Hopefully, this song will come remind you
[Outro]
Bb That's it's just a ride Fm It's just a ride Gm Gm/F# From the sister you miss Gm/F Gm/E Eb To the father you don't want to write Bb It's just a ride Fm It's just a ride Gm Gm/F# Gm/F Gm/E Eb From the lover you loved to the one that you're frightened to find Bb It's just a ride Fm It's just a ride Gm Gm/F# Gm/F Gm/E Eb From the baby you lost to the one that you're growing inside Cm Come out darling Eb Ebm And don't you cry
