[Intro]
F# G#
[Verse 1]
F# C#
Stay aboard the rollercoaster
G# A#m
In the hope it will go up someday
F# C#
Endure the falling feeling
G# F#
Holding out until the incline stays
F# A#m G# A#m
When you're up so high, with the tops of the trees, you claim:

"I can do better now. Thank god perspective's changed."

But then the downward slope finds you again
D#m F# G#
You lurch over the peak and you descend
[Chorus]
C#
How many times will I say "I'm ready"?

Balancing on the peak, I feel steady

Anticipate the drop, my pulse thready
F# G#
Just hurry up and push me already.
C#
How many times will I say "I'm better"?

Apologies all the same, to the letter
A#m E#m
Each time I slip I feel a bit deader
F# G#
Get up again and swear that I'm better.
[Solo]

[Verse 2]
F# C#
Ecstatic in the moment, certain
G# A#m
Thinking finally I've found the key
F# C#
Tell all my friends "Good riddance,
G# F#
To the times when I could hardly speak."
F# C# G# A#m
When you're down so low, where the roots of the trees remain
F# C# F# C#
"I thought I was better then. God forbid seasons change."
D#m F#
But then the upward slope finds you again
D#m F# G#
You think it could last this time, and you ascend
[Chorus]
C#
How many times will I say "I'm ready"?

Balancing on the peak, I feel steady

I'm better

I'm better

How long does it take to feel a bit better?

(I'll be ready soon)
A#m
"Now that I'm better, we'll hang out more"

(I'll be better soon)

Then something shifts the tracks, the car jerks
G#
(I'll be better soon)
E#m G#sus4
How rare to find a something that works
F#
(I'll be ready soon)
A#m
Before you've even caught your breath, it's
G#
(I'll be better soon)
E#m G#sus4 F#
Become another thing that won't fit
C# G# A#m
But hold tight, clutch the bar restraints
F# C# G# F#
"It'll move up again. All I can do is wait."
D#m F#
And the ride slows to a stop again
D#m F#sus2
But you can't afford to let it end.
[Chorus]
C#
How many times will I say "I'm ready"?
F#
Balancing on the peak, I feel steady
A#m E#m
Anticipate the drop, my pulse thready
F# G#
Just hurry up and push me already.
C#
How many times will I say "I'm better"?
F#
Apologies all the same, to the letter
A#m E#m
Each time I slip I feel a bit deader
F# G#
Get up again and swear that I'm better.
C#
I'm better
F# A#m
I'm better
G#
