Roller Coaster by Luke Bryan
Roller Coaster
Capo: 1st fret
I like to play Bm like Bm7 (X24232) but that is just a preference
[Intro]
G Bm C Am
[Verse]
G Bm
She had a cross around her neck and a flower in her hand
C Am
That I picked from the side of Thomas Drive on our way to the sand
G Bm
We found an old wooden chair still warm from the sun
C Am
Pushed it back, gave me a kiss with Bacardi on her lips and I was done
[Chorus]
G Bm
And we spent that week wide open upside down beside the ocean
C Am
I didn't know where it was goin' just tryin' to keep my heart on the tracks
G Bm
I should've known that kind of feelin' would last longer than that week did
C Am
Blown away and barely breathin' Sunday came and it was over
C G
Now she's got me twisted like an old beach roller coaster
She had a cross around her neck
And a flower in her hair
That I picked from the side of thomas drive
On our way to the sand
We found an old wooden chair
Still warm from the sun
Pushed it back, gave me a kiss with Bacardi on her lips
And I was done
And we spent that week wide open
Upside down beside the ocean
I didn't know where it was goin'
Just tryin' to keep my heart on the tracks
I should've known that kind of feelin'
Would last longer than that week did
Blown away and barely breathin'
Sunday came and it was over
Now she's got me twisted
Like an old beach roller coaster
The rest of those days
Turned into long crazy nights
When the music got loud
We'd sneak away from the crowd under the boardwalk lights
And with all the things we said
What I just can't get past
Is the way we let it end
Now I'm wonderin' where she is
Knowin' I can't get that goodbye back
We spent that week wide open
Upside down beside the ocean
I didn't know where it was goin'
Just tryin' to keep my heart on the tracks
I should've known that kind of feelin'
Would last longer than that week did
Blown away and barely breathin'
When Sunday came and it was over
Now she's got me twisted
Like an old beach roller coaster
She's like a song playin' over and over
In my mind, where I still hold her
I had the chance and I should've told her
When we spent that week wide open
Upside down beside the ocean
I should've known where it was goin'
Still tryin' to keep my heart on the tracks
And I should've known that kind of feelin'
Would last longer than that week did
Blown away and barely breathin'
When Sunday came and it was over
Now she's got me twisted, yeah, I'm still twisted
Like that old beach roller coaster
