LAm LAm7
How did it come so far?

Please dont confuse my expression, cause its a smile,
LAm MIm
but it a smile...of sadness
{same as before}
Saw the face of a child,
stare at the stars in the sky at night.
She was filled with wonder, overflowed with awe
I wished that I could see what she saw.
Then I turn to you, with your tearful eyes
as you sing a songs saddest lines
"It's when confusion is understood, I once was love,
It once was good".
So dont confuse my position, cause it wont change today,
feelings are on exhibition, years ago feel like yesterday,
and I my youth I learned a lession,
dont miss a chance for a kiss.
Please dont confuse my expression, cause its a smile,
but it a smile...of sadness

Cluthing reasons of reality,
MIm LA5
You told me often about insanity,

MIm LA5
Come out, come in dont be a stranger,
MIm LA5

DO SOL DO SOL LA5
of a free mind, not many try to understand.
Inevitibly evidence is produced,
the strange cracks of time are reduced,
when the breath of life, takes a sigh inwardly.-----Em G A5 Dsus2 x4
My constant battle with identidy,
is like a wind in a vacuum breeze,
The red stop light is shining bright
Never green.
Go through the motions of habitual lives
rejecting notions of a better time.
Why cant you see, this is not for me?
Im paralized.
Cluthing reasons of reality,
you told me often about insanity.
but it's alright, to my mind, to side with me.

MI LA

Oh. Ten years ago I was thirteen,
Got my first taste of lovin' if you know what I mean
She showed me hers, I showed her mine
I thought "what have I been doing all this time"
Well five years ago you know I was eighteen
The first girl I loved, I thought that it was a dream
Her first name was Kerry, her second was Anne
I thought it was forever, but she let me down
Ch. Life Rollercoaster, it takes me up and down
Shakes my nerves, spins my head around
Sometimes high, sometimes on my knees
I dont know were I'm going
I hardly know were Ive been. Yeah Yeah.
Well two years ago, things had to change
So I jumped on a plane and headed for the States
Gorgeous woman everywhere, the sun always shines
I knew that I was gonna have the time of my life
But now Its today and nothings really changed
I still drink too much, I cant pay the bills.
As for understanding woman, I still have no clue
You know I think I knew more when I was two. Oh look out.
Ch. Life Rollercoaster, it takes me up and down
Shakes my nerves, spins my head around
Sometimes high, sometimes on my knees
I dont know were I'm going
I hardly know were Ive been. Yeah Yeah.
