You register a motion, you get a helpful hint

There's a certain way it shivers when she shakes
 
[Verse 2]
E                   D      F#
           Her mind seemed so
E                   D   F#
chaotic    Her posture was
E                    D   F#
erotic     and her voice was
E                    D   F#
exotic           I acted so
E                    D     F#
neurotic         I thought it
E                    D     F#
idiotic      Her dance was so
E                    E  F#  G    F#  D  E E E
technotic    she became hypnotic
 
[Chorus]
                                   E   F# D E
And now I'm calling out for soft things
D E                                E E F# D E
Something soft when times get hard
                                          E F#
And now I'm calling out for soft things

When something calls you, you'll know what to do

It's a buried treasure that she doesn't hide

neurotic         I thought it
E                    D     F#
idiotic      Her dance was so
