G                C             G                  D
you were on my mind at least nine tenths of yesterday

 G             C                  G
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
maybe it's your awesome songs or maybe it's the way

Em
when I look at your face I can tell that you're not going to be stopping soon or even slowing

G
down

Em
and if we keep up this pace pretty soon we'll know the name of every kid and every grown up

                             G
booking house shows in their town

G        C         G               D
and if home is really where the heart is

G        C            G
then wer're the smartest kids I know

G          C          G                  D
because wherever we are in this great big world

G                C                  G
we'll never be more than a few hours from home

G       C               G                D
and that's important because I need to travel

G                C                         G
I've had this itchin in my shoes since I was just a little kid

G            C                    G               D
and before I had a mini van I road the Greyhound bus

G         C                    G
my mom would say I hope some day you get paid for being Kimya Dawson

G                     Am
and now I do and it's not much

Bm
but it's enough

G                               C                                D
I've got my Scrabble game food on my plate good friends and family

G                   C                 G                 D
and now there's you understanding why I do the things I do

G                  C                             D
knowing that you do them too makes me really happy

G
on the road again

                                        Bm
just can't wait to get on the road again

                                      Am
the life I love is makin' music with my friends

        C                         G
and I can't wait to get on the road again

G
on the road again

                                    Bm
just can't wait to get on the road again

                                      Am
the life I love is makin' music with my friends

      C                                G
and I can't wait to get on the road again

G             C            D              Em
from a distance the world looks blue and green

 C             D             G
and the snow capped mountains white

G                C         D            Em
from a distance the ocean meets the stream

   C       D             G
and the eagle takes to flight
(whispered) G(barely even a chord thing, more like hitting the g-string) Darkness imprisoning me All that I see Absolute horror I cannot live I cannot die Trapped in myself Body my holding cell
G              C
do do do do do do do
do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do
G                C
I'll be your cryin' shoulder

G          D           C
I'll be love's suicide

G             C
I'll be do do do do do do

G                      D          C
I'll be the greatest man of your life

G          C                  G           D
cause I like going for hikes and riding bikes

G                    C                  G
and playing video games in the middle of the night

G         C               G         D
and I'll stay up late and I wont even care

G                C                G
that we're getting up early to go to the state fair

G               C                    G             D
I'm gonna ride the biggest ride it'll be out of sight

G                   C                      G
then I'll share an elephant ear with you if you'd like

G            C                G            D
because we are alive so we've gotta live life

G                  C                       G
to the fullest you spin the bottle and I'll dim the lights
(talk-sing) four five six seven minutes in the closet
G      C             G                        D
you were on my mind at least nine tenths of yesterday

G         C                 G
it seemed as if perhaps I'd gone insane

G         C            G                     D

G               C                           G
maybe it's your awesome songs or maybe it's the way

Em
you go straight to the top you're not scared of getting squashed
you know just when to jump off
G

Em
and then you run to the right it seems there's no hope in sight

                                          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
