[G#m] [C#]
Wow.

[E]
[A] [F#]
I'll tell you.
I'll tell you I've always been the girl that wondered why people rode the biggest roller coasters.
Why the feeling of throwing [A] up brought about some type of excitement that they did not receive on the most regular day.
But when did feeling sick become equivalent to thrill?
Is nausea really the new X pill?
I've always wondered why people rode the biggest [A] roller coasters and I remember when I did.
[F#]
It's the butterflies [C#]
[B] and the fireflies
[F#]
[F#m] biting in my [C#]
[F#] stomach.
Yeah, [G#m]
[B] [F#] I'm scared [C#] to [B] fly
because I might come down.
I [C#] think I'm ready now.
[G#m] I'm getting back in [B] line.
[E] I think it's the twist in the curve or the up in the swerve.
I believe it's smiling so wide or the feelings [A] of your nerves on the front edge of their seats.
Eyes are open.
Tears are coming from the thrill of sight and I've been [F#] moving as fast as the light.
And I'm [E] laughing for no reason and I'm screaming for things I know I shouldn't have said in that last fight.
Them roller coasters, it's like [F#] meeting God with a kite in your left hand.
Strings, strings still twisted around your forefinger.
Right hand, right hand still busy gripping the [A] safety rail.
There is this [E] moment when you feel like you're in an ocean of your own [B] butterflies.
That's the moment when you get really [E]
free and you let your [A] arms.
[A]
It's the [C#] butterflies
[G#] and the [F#] fireflies
[C#] biting in my stomach.
[B] The light in their wings.
I've been [C#] so scared to fly
because I might come down.
[A] I think I'm ready [C#] now.
Getting [D#m] back [B] in.
[F#]
[E]
[D]
Back [B] in line.
[E] Like.
[D] Oh.
[Em] Oh.
[D] Oh.
[E] Riding a roller [G#m] coaster is like losing your breath and finding it in your [E] will.
[G#m] Like taking your fears for a ride or seeing yourself [D] when you were five.
It is surreal.
These are the things I [B] grab onto, hold onto for a while.
Getting ready for the drop.
Too busy riding my [E] fears to even remember that I'm afraid of heights in the first place.
So why is it so exciting to be so scared?
Huh?
Like [D] feeling your heart roam throughout your entire body.
Only to find it in shaking hands.
But can't wait to get back in line.
Gotta get on [E] one more time.
Can't wait to tell your friends about the drop and how it looks.
And how it feels from the very top.
[F#] [D] That's when I knew.
I knew that roller [F#] coasters were for people like me.
People that have never been in love.
[E] And I believe that everyone wants to know how it feels.
