Four years of hard work!

This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!

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
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
you go straight to the top you're not scared of getting squashed

you know just when to jump off
G
you're so brave
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
D
every day's a winding road yeah
G C
my rollercoaster's got the biggest ups and downs
D
as long as it keeps goin' round its unbelievable

G C
life is a highway and I'm gonna ride it
D
every day's a winding road yeah
G C
my rollercoaster's got the biggest ups and downs
D
as long as it keeps goin' round its unbelievable
