1. MY OWN DEVICE
Am Am7
How did it come so far?
Em
How did I lose it all?
Am Am7
No-one else to blame

And the friends you lose,
Em
will never return.

But deciept can be sold,
Em
by the bearer's hand.

All the regrets in the world,

wont solve anything.
Am Am7
Depression's holding the hand,
Em
of a child called sin.
Ch.
I wish I had no memories,
of the things I've done.

It only took a second,
Em
to change my world
Am Am7
And the friendship I've lost,
Em
will never return.

if I'm not with her.

But our lives changed, different paths we chose,

now we meet again and our difference shows.

dont miss a chance for a kiss.
C D Em C
Please dont confuse my expression, cause its a smile,
Am Em
but it a smile...of sadness
{same as before}
Saw the face of a child,
stare at the stars in the sky at night.
She was filled with wonder, overflowed with awe
I wished that I could see what she saw.
Then I turn to you, with your tearful eyes
as you sing a songs saddest lines
"It's when confusion is understood, I once was love,
It once was good".
So dont confuse my position, cause it wont change today,
feelings are on exhibition, years ago feel like yesterday,
and I my youth I learned a lession,
dont miss a chance for a kiss.
Please dont confuse my expression, cause its a smile,
but it a smile...of sadness

3. PARALIZED
Em A5
Cluthing reasons of reality,
Em A5
You told me often about insanity,
C G C G A5
but it's alright, to my mind, to glide with me

easy life and times are what I lack.
It's time for me, to relieve my inner dreams.-------Em G A5 Dsus2 x4 (double speed)
(faster)
Em A5
Come out, come in dont be a stranger,
Em A5
get dowm, get up dont fear the danger,
C G C G A5
of a free mind, not many try to understand.
Inevitibly evidence is produced,
the strange cracks of time are reduced,
when the breath of life, takes a sigh inwardly.-----Em G A5 Dsus2 x4
My constant battle with identidy,
is like a wind in a vacuum breeze,
The red stop light is shining bright
Never green.
Go through the motions of habitual lives
rejecting notions of a better time.
Why cant you see, this is not for me?
Im paralized.
Cluthing reasons of reality,
you told me often about insanity.
but it's alright, to my mind, to side with me.

6. LIFE ROLLERCOASTER
12 Bar Blues on Verses
A
Twenty Years ago, remember I first spoke
D
I Layed down the law, told them just what I thought
E D E
My mother said "Boy, youll be a man, just keep your eyes open, do the best that you can"
A
Well fifteen years ago I was still a child.
D
I thought the whole world lived in my town.
E
I was happy playing football, It was my high,
D E
and I learned who my friends were and who to fight.
A
Ch. Life Rollercoaster, it takes me up and down
G
Shakes my nerves, spins my head around
F
Sometimes high, sometimes on my knees
D
I dont know were I'm going
E A
I hardly know were Ive been. Yeah Yeah.
Oh. Ten years ago I was thirteen,
Got my first taste of lovin' if you know what I mean
She showed me hers, I showed her mine
I thought "what have I been doing all this time"
Well five years ago you know I was eighteen
The first girl I loved, I thought that it was a dream
Her first name was Kerry, her second was Anne
I thought it was forever, but she let me down
Ch. Life Rollercoaster, it takes me up and down
Shakes my nerves, spins my head around
Sometimes high, sometimes on my knees
I dont know were I'm going
I hardly know were Ive been. Yeah Yeah.
Well two years ago, things had to change
So I jumped on a plane and headed for the States
Gorgeous woman everywhere, the sun always shines
I knew that I was gonna have the time of my life
But now Its today and nothings really changed
I still drink too much, I cant pay the bills.
As for understanding woman, I still have no clue
You know I think I knew more when I was two. Oh look out.
Ch. Life Rollercoaster, it takes me up and down
Shakes my nerves, spins my head around
Sometimes high, sometimes on my knees
I dont know were I'm going
I hardly know were Ive been. Yeah Yeah.
