D
Oooooooooohhhhha

G
Oooooooooohhhhha

Bm
Oooooooooohhhhha

A
Oooooooooohhhhha
[Verse 1]
D
Pop music 101
Some simple instructions
G
For a good first impression
Now let’s start with verse one:
Bm
A minor chord, tensions grow;
Fade in the bass like so;
G
Now with momentum go “stop”
And bring the beat back
D
It’s called Four-on-the-floor
A beat you can’t ignore
G
I’ll bring sexy back once more [“yeah!”]
They’ll love that [“yeah!”] fo’ sho’!
Bm
The chords are 1-4-6-4
Now I’m talkin familiar
G
Harmony in thirds, not fourths
We'll take you into the pre-chorus [Pre-Chorus]
Bm
Real quick now, don’t you bore us

A
Hurry up and get to the chorus!

G
Dumbed down, they won’t ignore us
[Chorus]
                G
Get to the floor!

          Bm              A                G
And here’s some words you should know:

          D             A          G
Like “DJ never let me go”

           Bm                A           G
Or "shots and then I’ll "lose control"!

           D            A
Or “baby baby baby baby baby”

G               A
How about one more last word like

G                 Bm   A
"Hey girl, we’ve only got tonight"?

G                  A
Some things just go together like:

G                                Bm           A
"higher", "desire" and "fire;" "higher", "desire" and "fire"
[Verse 2]
D
Guitar and strings like these
To sound like Black Eyed Peas
G
This one’s a filter sweep
This one’s Imogen Heap
Bm
Hipster music on cassette
But you probably don’t know that yet
G
808’s-… [“hey! ho!”] Hell yeah!

D
Heartfelt pop anthems
From Mumford and his Sons
G
Gang vocals here we come
Thinkin'
Bm
“I…
Will…
A
Always wait”
[wobble bass] [Pre-Chorus]
Bm
Real quick now, don’t you bore us

A
Hurry up and get to the chorus!

G
Dumbed down, they won’t ignore us
[Chorus]
                G
Get to the floor!

          Bm              A                G

           D            A
Or “baby baby baby baby baby”

[Bridge]
D
I can pitch shift my voice if I want

G
I can pitch shift my voice if I want

Bm
I can pitch shift my voice if I want

A
I can make my voice low

D
The bridge is
The part when You bring in A rapper friend. [“Sup?”]
G
You simplify, you slow the beat
Abbreviate, feature to feat
Bm
Quick now, fill in the gaps. [“Okay!!”]
Right up and down, eliminate that which you
A
Really would rap an’
Give them a classic like “Get-get-get-get…” [Chorus]
                G
Get to the floor! [CASH MONEY]

          Bm              A                G
