(Verse 1 – accompaniment plays B, G#m, F#, E)

Sitt’n here alone

I’m looking back on where I've roamed

And laugh’n, how I swore 

I'd win and not get burned.

Left my family, left my home

I worked my fingers to the bone

And there was not a stone 

I did not leave unturned.

A                    E

...And I was having a good time



(Chrous)

B             F#

Roll On, roll ON, roller coaster

      C#m

We're one day older,

    E

And one step closer.

B                      F#

Roll on, there's mountains to climb

C#m           E

Roll on, were on borrowed time.

A             E

Roll on rollercoaster,

E         B

Roll on tonigh...[roll on tonight...yeaaa]



(Verse 2 - accompaniment plays B, G#m, F#, E)

Money and success

I don't complain about the stress

I wanted this and now its here

So I don't bitch.

And I swear that time's a trick

It disappears and oh so quick

Man I was just 16,

Now I'm staring attt....36.

...But I'm still having a good time!  [Good time!]



(Chorus)



(Use chorus rhythm – B, F#, C#m, E)

Da da, da da

Doo, da da doo doo

Doo, doo doo doo...doo doo doo doo doo...yeaaaa

Da da, da da

Doo, da da doo doo

Doo, da da doo doo...doo doo doo doo doo



(Bridge)

G                   A                        B

I know it’s hard to see with the sun in your eyes

G                        A             B

But one day you’re gonna say I saw the light (Pause)



(Verse 3 - accompaniment plays B, F#, C#m, E)

And now headn’ for that hill

And I just can not wait until

My children grow up

To have children of their own

And I’ll being telling them about

The times I turned the party out

And how I stood against an army all alone

Drinkn’ wine and staying high

And realized it couldn’t last

And how I turned myself around

And went down another path

And the signs you must observe

When life’s changes do occur

But most of all I’d tell them

Just how proud I am of them



A                  E

...And always have a good time  [have a good time!]

A                    E

...It’s all-a love and good times  [woo...oo...oo]

A                  E

...Let’s all have a good time...yeaaaaaa



(Use chorus rhythm throughout – B, F#, C#m, E)

Roll On, roll ON, roller coaster

We're one day older,

And one step closer.

Roll on, there's mountains to climb

Roll on, were on borrowed time.

Roll on, rollercoaster,

Roll on tonight

Da, da, da  [roll on tonight]

Doo, da da doo doo  [roll on tonight]

Doo, doo doo doo...doo doo doo doo doo...roll on tonight  [roooll oooon]

Doo, da doo doo doo...doo doo doo doo doo...roll on tonight

So roll on, rollercoaster,

Roll on tonight...roll on tonight
