G       C      Em     D 

G 
Rollerskate skinny and the terrible twos 
C 
How can you have everything and nothing to lose 
Em 
You and nobody see eye to eye 
D 
You're gonna    wake up with a ghost instead of a guy 

G 
Bulletin board on the wall of a church 
C 
Soaking up the city from a top-step perch 
Em 
You're  gonna break down on a midnight date 
D 
Gonna   curse this town, you're gonna run late 

Am      D 
You're pretty as a penny, Rollerskate   Skinny 
Am      D 
You're pretty as a penny, Rollerskate   Skinny 

 G 
Do you  want to meet up at the Pickwood Bowl 
 C 
We could knock nine down and leave one in the hole 
 Em 
 Wouldn't be here if the Athenia hadn't sunk 
 D 
Or if   dear ol' dad hadn't got so drunk 

 G 
 Every other day is a kick in the shins 
 C 
 Every other day it's like the day just wins 
 Em 
You make it all right, you make it okay 
 D 
You make me sorta glad that I waited 'til today 

        Am      D 
You're pretty as a penny, Rollerskate   Skinny 
        Am      D 
You're pretty as a penny, Rollerskate   Skinny 

        G       C      Em     D 
(guitar break)                           

 G 
 Rollerskate skinny and the terrible twos 
 C 
 Two years in and it's time to choose 
 Em 
 Love feels good when it sits right down 
 D 
Puts its feet up on the table and it sends a bowl around 

 G 
 Ain't nobody gonna see eye to eye 
 C 
With a  girl who's only gonna stand collarbone high 
 Em 
 Rain's gonna come in fair-sized drips 
 D 
We're   gonna go to heaven wearing paper-hat ships 

 Am     D 
You're pretty as a penny, Rollerskate   Skinny 
 Am     D 
You're pretty as a penny, Rollerskate   Skinny 

 C      G      Em     C 
 I believe in   love, but       it don't believe in... 
 G      Em     C      G 
 I believe in   love, but it don't believe in   me 
 Em     C      G      Em     C 
I believe in    love, but it don't believe in   me--    --      -- 
 G      Em     C 
No it don't believe in  me--    --      -- 
 G      Em     C      G      Em     C      G 
Don't believe in
