(Verse 1 – accompaniment plays B, G#m, F#, E)
SittÂ’n here alone
IÂ’m looking back on where I've roamed
And laughÂ’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 itÂ’s hard to see with the sun in your eyes
G A B
But one day youÂ’re gonna say I saw the light (Pause)
(Verse 3 - accompaniment plays B, F#, C#m, E)
And now headnÂ’ for that hill
And I just can not wait until
My children grow up
To have children of their own
And IÂ’ll being telling them about
The times I turned the party out
And how I stood against an army all alone
DrinknÂ’ wine and staying high
And realized it couldnÂ’t last
And how I turned myself around
And went down another path
And the signs you must observe
When lifeÂ’s changes do occur
But most of all IÂ’d tell them
Just how proud I am of them
A E
...And always have a good time [have a good time!]
A E
...ItÂ’s all-a love and good times [woo...oo...oo]
A E
...LetÂ’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.

Doo, da da doo doo [roll on tonight]
