Well it's been getting so hard,
                                 G
Living with the things you do to me (Main riff (x2) w/ 2nd guitar riff)

My dreams are getting so strange

[Pre-Chorus] (drums only)
N.C.
I see a man at the back
N.C.
As a matter of fact
N.C.
His eyes are as red as the sun
N.C.
And a girl in the corner
N.C.
Let no one ignore her 'cause
N.C.
She thinks she's the passionate one
 
G                    A                        C
Oh yeah, it was like lightning, everybody was frightning
                  Eb                            G
and the music was soothing and they all started grooving
G
Oh yeah
 
 
[Chorus]
        A                     C
And the man at the back said "Everyone attack"
       D                      G
and it turned into a ballroom blitz
        A                        C
And the girl in the corner said "Boy I wanna warn you"

I'm reaching out for something
                              G
touching nothing's all I ever do   -Main Riff Twice W/ 2nd Guitar-
  C
I softly call you over
                                        G
When you appear there's nothing left of you   -Main Riff Twice W/ 2nd Guitar-
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
N.C.
Now the man at the back is ready to crack
N.C.
as he raises his hands to the sky
N.C.
And the girl in the corner is everyone's moaner
N.C.
she could kill you with a wink of her eye
 
G  G            A                        C

                     Eb                               G
And the band started leaping 'cause they all stopped breathing
G
Oh yeah
