I'd been out the night before with all my friends 
D5         G5              D5                G5 
A little worried, kinda wondering what I did

And our poor mother sat between em both all night

We talked about the way we missed his stupid jokes

I lay in bed that night and thought about the day 
           D5              G5              D5     G5 
And how my life is like a roller-coaster ride
