Chords

Correct chords but for some reason they might not be positioned above the right word when it's posted. But you can work it out. Simple pimple song. [Intro] G C G D G C D G C G D G C D [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"
G C G D G C G D G C G D G C
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

       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
