          CC Piano Chord 

Music has charms they say
AmAm Piano Chord 
                  Gm7Gm7 Piano Chord 

But in some people's hands

   Dbmaj7Dbmaj7 Piano Chord 
        Fm7Fm7 Piano Chord 
       Dbmaj7Dbmaj7 Piano Chord

Can't they control it
AbAb Piano Chord 
                         BbBb Piano Chord 
       CC Piano Chord

Verse 2:
You see my friend and me
Don't have an easy day
And at night we dance not fight
We need the energy
If not the sympathy

Bridge:
EbEb Piano Chord 
         Fm7Fm7 Piano Chord 

But I'm brutalized by bass
EbEb Piano Chord 
                Fm7Fm7 Piano Chord 

And terrorized by treble
EbEb Piano Chord 
                  Fm7Fm7 Piano Chord 

I'm open to change my mood but
EbEb Piano Chord 
                     Fm7Fm7 Piano Chord 

I always get caught in the middle

Chorus:
Dm7Dm7 Piano Chord 

And I get tired of DJ's

Why is it always what he plays

I'm gonna push right through

I'm gonna tell him too

Tell him to play us

Play us a slow song (4 times. On the fourth do not play the G)

Verse 3:
It's late- I'm winding down
Am I the only one
To want a strong and silent sound
To pick me up and undress me
Lay me down and caress me

Verse 4:
I feel your touch my hand
And whisper in my ear
Ask me how I'm feeling now
And I want to get near you
But I can't even hear you

Bridge 2:
But this is a fine romance
If we have to be so demanding
We need just one more dance to
Leave here with an understanding

Repeat Chorus

Solo:
Ab, Bb (4 times)
Fm7Fm7 Piano Chord 


Repeat Chorus:

End with:
C,C, Piano Chord
