D           A/C#         Bm    G         D/F#     
  I've been watching you waltz all night Diane

G          D/F#           Bm          A             
  Nobody's found a way behind your defenses

D            A/C#       Bm  G      D/F#     
  They never notice the zap gun in your hand

G               D/F#             Em            D/F#    
  Until you're pointing it and stunning their senses
[Chorus]
Bm   A    G         D/F#   Em    
All night long, all night long

G                  D/F#                 Bm           A    
  You'll shoot 'em down because you're waiting for somebody 

 Bm      A     G         D/F#   Em
 good to come  on
(All night long, all night long)
              G                 A          Gmaj7 
But you'll be sleeping with the television on

D                A/C#         Bm   G      D/F#    
  You say you're looking for some- one solid here

G              D/F#                  Bm           A             
  You can't be bothered with those "just for the night" boys

D           A/C#          Bm   G               D/F#     
  Tonight unless you take some kind of chances dear

G           D/F#               Em          D/F#    
  Tomorrow morning you'll wake up with the white noise
[Chorus]
Bm   A    G         D/F#  Em   
All night long, all night long

G              D/F#                   Bm       A    
  You're only standing there 'cause somebody once did 

 Bm     A     G         D/F#   Em
 some - body  wrong
(All night long, all night long)
               G               A           Bm  N.C.
But you'll be sleeping with the television on
[Bridge]
N.C.                 D/G   G      D/G  G      
Your eyes are saying talk to me, (talk to me) but your attitude is
(talk to me)
    A/B   Bm   A/B   Bm  
don't waste my time
(talk to me, talk to me)
                     D/G   G              D/G   G
Your eyes are saying talk to me,  But you won't hear a word
(talk to me)
           Bm/A          A       Bm/A   A7
'cause it just might be the same old line 
[Verse 3]
D            A/C#     Bm  G      D/F#     
  This isn't easy for me  to say Diane

G            D/F#           Bm        A            
  I know you don't need anybody's protection

D          A/C#       Bm   G            D/F#     
  I really wish I was less of a thinking man

G            D/F#             Em         D/F#    
  And more a fool who's not afraid of rejection
[Chorus]
Bm  A     G         D/F#  Em   
All night long, all night long

G              D/F#                   Bm       A    
  I'll just be standing here 'cause I know I don't have the 

Bm       A     G         D/F#   Em
 guts to come  on
(All night long, all night long)
            G                A           Bm  N.C.
And I'll be sleeping with the television on
[Bridge]
N.C                  D/G   G     D/G   G
Your eyes are saying talk to me,      but my attitude is
(talk to me)
      A/B    Bm         A/B   Bm  
"boy don't waste your time"
(talk to me, talk to me)
                     D/G   G          D/G    G
Your eyes are saying talk to me, but I won't say a word
(talk to me)
         Bm/A          A              Bm/A          A7
'cause it j-just might be somebody else's same old line
[Instrumental] D A/C# Bm G D/F# G D/F# Bm A D A/C# Bm G D/F# G D/F# Em D/F# [Chorus]
Bm  A     G         D/F#   Em    
All night long, all night long

G               D/F#                  Bm       A    
  We'll just be standing here 'cause somebody might do 

Bm    A     G         D/F#   Em
somebody    wrong
(All night long, all night long)
             G                 A          
And we'll be sleeping with the television 
[Outro]
 Gmaj7                A  Bm/D                    
 on                           
(Sleepin' with the television)
                   A   Gmaj7
Sleepin' with the television      

                     A  Bm/D
Sleepin' with the television on
A Gmaj7
A      Bm/D             A         Gmaj7              A         D6
