[Verse]
       D                           C
I seen a girl on a oneway corridor ■
              D          G      C
Stealing down a wrongway street ■
G D                               C       
■ For all the world like an urban toreador
        D            G C       
She had wheels on on ■ her feet
G    D     G                 C     
Well ■ the cars do the usual dances
D                         C              G
■ Same old cruise and the curbside crawl ■


[Chorus]
D              G                 C      
But the roller girl she's taking chances
D           G               C           G  
■ They just love to see her ■ take them all
A       Am            
No fear alone at night
Em                             
She's sailing through the crowd
A               Am              
In her ears the phones are tight
        G               A   
And the music's playing loud
A7 A G D

[Verse]
           C               
Hallelujah ■ here she comes
D       C          G
■ Queen rollerball ■
D                 C          
And enchanté what ■ can I say
      D         C   G
Don't ■ care at all ■
D                              C          
■ You know she used to have to wait around
               D              C
She used to be the lonely one ■
G D                      C                
■ ■ But now that she can skate around town
D                C G    A  
■ She's the only ■ only one
   A                  
No fear alone at night
Em                             
She's sailing through the crowd
A                 Am              
In her ears those phones are tight
    C           D           
And the music's playing loud


[Chorus]
C   D    G                                 Bm      Em
She gets rock 'n' roll and a rock 'n' roll station ■ 
                          Bm
And a rock 'n' roll dream ■ 
C                      Am7      G
She's making movies on location ■
                       D7   
She don't know what it means
        Gsus4          G                 
And the music make her wanna be the story
Bm         Em                                      G  
■  And the story was whatever was the song what it was
C             Am             G
■ Roller girl ■  don't worry ■
            D

■  ■ She tortures taxi drivers just for fun
                  G          C
She likes to read their lips ■
G      D G              C                    D  
■ Says ■ Toro toro taxi ■ see ya tomorrow my son
                  G         C              G
I swear she let a big truck grease her hip ■
D      G                    C        D     
Aw she got her own world in the city ■ yeah
          G                    C  G 
You can't intrude on her no no no no
D         G       C                
■ She got her own world in the city
D          G       C       G  
The city's been so rude to her


[Chorus]
A        Am            
No fears alone at night
Em                  G    
Sailing through the crowd
A                 C              
In her ears those phones so tight
                        D    D7
