[Verse 1]
              D                                    G C
I seen a girl on a one-way corridor
                            D                         G C G
Stealing down a wrong-way street
D                                    G          C
For all the world like an urban toreador
                D          G C                 G
She had wheels on, on her feet
D                        G         C
The cars do the usual dances
D                                      G             C    G
Same old cruise and the kerbside crawl
D                                    G          C
But the Rollergirl, she's taking chances
D                G         C                G
Just love to see her take them all

[Pre-chorus]
A              C                            Em                          G
No fears alone at night, she's sailing through the crowd
A                         C                                     G                           A
In her ears the phones are tight, and the music's playing loud

[Verse 2]
D            G C                        D
Hallelujah, here she comes
D                  G   C G
Queen rollerball
D                     G C
And "Enchanté", what can I say
D           G C G
Care at all
D                         G                    C
You know, she used to have to wait around
                               D             G  C G
She used to be the lonely one
D                         G    C
But now that she can skate around town
D                 G C        G
She's the only, only one

[Pre-chorus]
A             C                              Em                             G
No fears alone at night, she's sailing through the crowd
A                        C                                      G                   A
In her ears the phones are tight, and the music's playing loud

She gets rock n roll, on a rock n roll station

And the music make her wanna be the story
              Em
And the story was whatever was the song, what it was
C              Am              G/D
Rollergirl, don't worry
