[Verse 1]
D                       G             Bm
Nights, flying the down 10, nearly 2 AM
        A
Happiness begins
D              G                       Bm
Days lifted in haze, we weren't just a phase
                A
We weren't just pretend (Just pretend)
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
G          D                 Bm     A
I remember low lows and high highs
   G                   D                 Bm     A
We threw our hands up, palms out to the skies
 
 
[Chorus]
       G                                    D
It was fun when we were young and now we're older
      Bm                             A
Those days when we were broke in California
        G                              D
We were up-and-down and barely made it over
      Bm                             A
But I'd go back and ride that rollercoaster
       G                                    D
It was fun when we were young and now we're older
      Bm                                    A
Those days that are the worst, they seem to glow now
        G                              D
We were up-and-down and barely made it over
      Bm                             A   N.C.
But I'd go back and ride that rollercoaster with you
 
 
[Post-Chorus]
G          D
  Wooh ooh-ooh
Bm       A
  Wooh ooh
G          D
  Wooh ooh-ooh (Oh, oh)
      Bm                               A
But I'd come back and ride that rollercoaster
 
 
[Verse 2]
D                   G                        Bm
Faith led me to the clouds, reaching for the ground
                A
His life was upside down
D                  G                        Bm
Now everything has changed, we found better days
                 A
But I still hear the sound
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
G          D                 Bm     A
I remember low lows and high highs
   G                   D                 Bm     A
We threw our hands up, palms out to the skies
 
 
[Chorus]
       G                                    D
It was fun when we were young and now we're older
      Bm                             A
Those days when we were broke in California
        G                              D
We were up-and-down and barely made it over
      Bm                             A
But I'd go back and ride that rollercoaster
       G                                    D
It was fun when we were young and now we're older
      Bm                                    A
Those days that are the worst, they seem to glow now
        G                              D
We were up-and-down and barely made it over
      Bm                             A   N.C.
But I'd go back and ride that rollercoaster with you
 
 
[Post-Chorus]
G          D
  Wooh ooh-ooh (Yeah, with you)
Bm       A
  Wooh ooh (With you, with you)
G          D
  Wooh ooh-ooh (Oh, oh)
      Bm                               A
But I'd come back and ride that rollercoaster
 
 
[Chorus]
       G                                    D
It was fun when we were young and now we're older (Oh)
      Bm                                    A
Those days that are the worst, they seem to glow now (Yeah)
        G                              D
We were up-and-down and barely made it over
      Bm                             A   N.C.
But I'd go back and ride that rollercoaster
 
 
[Outro]
D                       G             Bm
Nights, flying the down 10, nearly 2 AM
        A
Happiness begins
