Tom: C

                      G
This remind me of the roller rink
     Am
Icy cold soda drinks
               C
Sittin' in the booth seats

Hopin' she would notice
                 G
Skating right in front of her
      Am
DJ play my favorite song
            C
I gotta put on a show

Hopefully she play along
      G
Baby, roll the dice
               Am
You looking as cold as ice
                 C
Skating with the real blades

Hoping you would notice
         G
Playing arcade games
        Am
Coming up with nicknames
                C
And texting on our flip phones

If I had the minutes


[Verse 1]
        G                  F
Baby, I bet you get this a lot
                Em                         C *once
But I just wanna take you to your favorite spot
                        C
I don't know where it is yet

But I'm 'bout to find out

Wonder if you'll give me this dance

And she crackin' a smile
                    G
Yeah, she crackin' a grin
               F
I'm back at it again

To be honest baby
Em                         C*
We should be way more than friends
                     C
The disco ball above keeps on spinning

We're way too young to be thinking so independent
                                G                    F
We never wanna take the time to really sit and listen
                          Em   C*
But girl, you seem different
              C
I don't get it

But I'll admit it


[Chorus]
                      G
This remind me of the roller rink
     Am
Icy cold soda drinks
               C
Sittin' in the booth seats

Hopin' she would notice
                 G
Skating right in front of her
      Am

            C

Hopefully she play along
      G
Baby, roll the dice
               Am
You looking as cold as ice
                 C
Skating with the real blades

Hoping you would notice
         G
Playing arcade games
        Am
Coming up with nicknames
                C
And texting on our flip phones

If I had the minutes
Yeah

[Verse 2]
G
Every Friday night
        F
I would wait in line
           Em
And try to catch your eye
      C*                   C
But you'd never pay me any mind

So, why do I try?
       G
'Cause every single time
       F
That I had a chance
          Em
To finally get that dance
 C*                          C
I would always lose it to some other guy

So, why do I try?
          G                F
I won't lie, you got a hold on me
                Em
I hope that you won't
              C*
Leave me here on the ground
                     C
I tend to lose my feet

Then there's no one around

And our eyes meet

I was lost 'til you found me


[Chorus]
                      G
This remind me of the roller rink
     Am
Icy cold soda drinks
               C

Hopin' she would notice
                 G

Hopefully she play along
      G
Baby, roll the dice
               Am

                 C
Skating with the real blades

Hoping you would notice
         G

        Am
Coming up with nicknames
                C

If I had the minutes
N.C
Yeah

[Outro]
G Am C                             G             Am
       This remind me of the roller rink
C            G     Am     C
Yeah, yeah

                      G             Am     C
This remind me of the roller rink
