VERSE:
          A
You see I went on the roller-coaster last night when I was feeling bad
D                                 A
Down by the sea in Santa Cruz and I was feeling sad
            E         D              A                    E
But we went down, and around, and it knocked me out of my head.


VERSE:
      A
Well, I went on the coaster and my heart was heavy as lead
            D                        A
But we went down, and around, and it knocked me out of my head.
      E           D                 A
I say whoa-oh-oh, thank you, for it knocked me out of my head.

E
Let's go...

VERSE:
    A
Hey roller-coaster by the sea, thank you for helping me
    D                            A
And roller-coaster by the water, made me feel more as I oughtta
      E            D             A                    E
Well, whoah oh oh, oh oh oh, you knocked me out of my head


VERSE:
       A
See, I went on a roller-coaster last night when I was feelin' bad
        D                                  A
We were down by the sea in Santa Cruz, and I was sadder than sad
            E         D              A                    E
But we went down, and around, and it knocked me out of my head


VERSE:
          A
Hey, when I went on the coaster, my heart was heavy as lead
            D                              A
But we went down, down, and around, and it knocked me out of my head.
              E            D                  A                    E
