[A] [C#m]
You see I went on the roller coaster last night when I was feeling bad
[D] Down by the sea in Santa [A] Cruz and I was feeling sad
But we went [C#m]
down [Bm] and around and it knocked me out of my head
[E] Well I went on the coaster and my heart was heavy as lead
But we [D] went down and around [E] and it knocked me out of my [A] head
I say, oh, oh, [D] oh, oh, thank you [A] for knocking me out of my head Let's go!
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, [D] oh, oh, oh, [E] oh Well, scary!
[D] Ohhh!!!
[Am] Well, [E] oh, oh, oh, [A] oh, roller coaster by the sea
[E] Thank you for helping [D] me and roller coaster by [A] the water
You made me feel more as [E] I watered
[A] Oh, oh, well you knocked [B] me out of my [C#] head.
We went on a roller coaster last night [E] when I was feeling bad.
[D] We were down by the sea in Santa Cruz.
[E] I was sad, sad, but we went out [D] and around.
And it knocked [E] me out of my head.
And when I went off the coaster, my heart was heavy as lead.
But [D] we went down, down, we did.
[A] And it knocked me out of my head.
I said, oh, [D] oh, you knocked me out of my head.
[C#] Let's go!
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, [D] oh, oh, oh, [C#] oh. Help!
I'm skidding!
Oh, [D] oh, oh, oh, oh, [E] oh, ah.
