 ROLLERSKATE SKINNY
 by the Old 97's 
 track 2 from Satellite Rides, Elektra 2001
 chords courtesy Robert Lin / Mark Scholes
 compiled by Jeff Neely
 
 It's in Key of A#, so capo 3 if you use regular tuning, or capo 5 if you
 tune down 1 full step like the Old 97's do.)
 
 G
 Roller skate skinny and the terrible twos
 C
 How can you have everything and nothing to lose
 Em
 You and nobody see eye to eye you're gonna
 D
 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. You're
 Em
 gonna break down on a midnight date, gonna
 D
 curse this town, you're gonna run late
 
                    Am(pick bottom 3 strings for chorus)
 You're pretty as a penny
             D 
 roller-skate skinny
 
                    Am
 You're pretty as a penny
             D 
 roller-skate skinny
 
 (repeat as above)
 Do you want to meet up at the Pickwood Bowl
 We could knock nine down and leave one in the hole
 Wouldn't be here if the Athenia hadn't sunk
 Or if Dear ol Dad hadn't got so drunk
 
 Every other day is a kick in the shins
 Every other day it's like the day just wins
 But you make it all right, you make it OK
 You make me sorta glad that I waited till today
 
 You're pretty as a penny, roller-skate skinny
 Pretty as a penny, roller-skate skinny
 
 (guitar break)
 
 Roller-skate skinny and the terrible twos
 Two years in and it's time to choose
 Love feels good when it sits right down, puts its feet up on the table and
 it sends a bowl around
 
 Ain't nobody gonna see eye to eye
 With a girl who's only gonna stand collarbone high
 Rain's gonna come in fair-sized drips
 We're gonna go to heaven wearing paper-hat ships
 
 You're pretty as a penny, roller-skate skinny
 Pretty as a penny, roller-skate skinny
 
 C      G      Em        C
 I believe in love, but it don't believe in...
 G      Em     C    
 I believe in love, but it don't believe in me
 G      Em     C    
 I believe in love, but it don't believe in me
