Chords

[Intro] C Am C Am C Am C [Verse 1]
Am     C              Am    C
Music has charms they say

Am          Gm7
But in some people's hands

Fm7      Dbmaj7   Fm7  Dbmaj7     Ab
It        becomes a savage beast

           Ab/Bb     Bb
Can't they control it

Ab        Ab/Bb  Bb    C
Why don't they hold it back
[Verse 2]
    Am  C             Am    C
You see my friend and me

Am            Gm7
Don't have an easy day

Fm7   Dbmaj7 Fm7         Dbmaj7     Ab
And at night we dance not fight

        Ab/Bb     Bb
We need the energy

Ab     Ab/Bb  Bb
If not the sympathy
[Bridge]
Eb      Fm7
But I'm brutalized by bass

Eb/G           Fm7/Ab
And terrorized by treble

Eb          Fm7
I'm open to change my mood but

Eb/G         Fm7/Ab
I always get caught in the middle
[Chorus]
Dm7                Gm7
And I get tired of DJ's

Dm7                   Gm7
Why is it always what he plays

Dm7
I'm gonna push right through

Gm7
I'm gonna tell him too

Dm7
Tell him to play us

          C    Am    Fm7 Bb9 Ab
Play us a slow song

          C    Am    Fm7 Bb9 Ab
Play us a slow song

          C    Am    Fm7 Bb9 Ab
Play us a slow song

          C    Am    Fm7 Bb9 Ab
Play us a slow song
[Verse 3]
Am       C        Am       C
It's late- I'm winding down

Am         Gm7
Am I the only one

Fm7      Dbmaj7    Fm7    Dbmaj7      Ab
To want a strong and silent sound

       Ab/Bb     Bb
To pick me up and undress me

Ab     Bb       C
Lay me down and caress me
[Verse 4]
Am       C        Am       C
I feel your touch my hand

Am         Gm7
And whisper in my ear

Fm7      Dbmaj7    Fm7    Dbmaj7      Ab
Ask me how I'm feeling now

       Ab/Bb     Bb
And I want to get near you

Ab             Ab/Bb   Bb
But I can't even hear you
[Bridge 2]
Eb         Fm7
But this is a fine romance

Eb/G                Fm7/Ab
If we have to be so demanding

Eb                  Fm7
We need just one more dance to

Eb/G                     Fm7/Ab
Leave here with an understanding
[Chorus]
Dm7       Gm7
And I get tired of DJ's

Dm7       Gm7
Why is it always what he plays

Dm7
I'm gonna push right through

Gm7
I'm gonna tell him too

Dm7
Tell him to play us

          C    Am    Fm7 Bb9 Ab
Play us a slow song

          C    Am    Fm7 Bb9 Ab
Play us a slow song

Play us a slow song

          C    Am    Fm7 Bb9 Ab
Play us a slow song
[Solo] Ab Bb Ab Bb Ab Bb Ab Bb Fm7 [Chorus]
Dm7       Gm7
And I get tired of DJ's
