[C] [Am]
[C] [Am] Music [C] has [Am] charms they [C] say, [Am] but [Gm] in some people's hands [Fm] it [Db]
becomes [Fm] a [Db] savage [Ab] beast.
Can't they [Bb]
control [Ab] it?
Why [Bb] don't they hold [C] it back?
[Am] You see, [C] my [A] friend and [C] me
[Am]
[Gm] don't have an easy day.
[Fm] And [Db] at night [Fm] we dance, [Db] not [Eb] fight.
[Ab] We need [Bb] the energy, [Ab] if not [Bb] the sympathy.
[Eb]
[Ab] But I'm brutalized by [Eb] face, and
[Fm] terrorized by treble.
[Eb] I'm open [Fm] to change my [Eb] mood, but I [Fm] always get caught in the middle.
[G] [F] And I get tired of [G] DJs.
Why is it always what he plays?
I gotta push right through, I [C] gotta smile [F] at him [G] too.

who [Db] wants a [Fm] strong and [Db] silent [Ab] sound?
So pick me [Bb] up and undress [Ab] me, lay me [Bb] down and caress [C] me.
I [Am] feel [C]
you touch [Am] my [C] hand [Am] and [Gm] whisper in my ear.
[Fm] Ask [Db] me how [Fm] I'm [Db] feeling [Eb] now.
[Ab] And I want to [Bb] get near you, [Ab] but I can't [Bb] even hear you.
[Eb] But this [Fm] is a fine [Ab]
[Eb] romance, if we have [Fm] to be so demanding.
[Eb] We need [Fm] just one more [Eb] dance to leave here [Ab] with understanding.
[F] And I get tired of [G]
DJs.
Why is [F] it always what he [G] plays?
I gotta push right through, I gotta [A] tell him to.
