Chords

[Intro] G [Verse 1]
Am
Living on the street tonight's

                  C                G
A lonely place to be all right, oh lord

    Am
The rhythm of the city

                C         G
I don't find it pretty anymore

             D      C
Like I did before

G                 D
You walked out my door
[Chorus]
G
Give me back the beat, give me back the beat

D                C               G
Give me back the only thing that makes my life complete

   G
If you come back to me, I'll be dancing in the street

  D                C               G
I miss the tune we had before that made me tap my feet

             Em                                   A
That used to rock this boy asleep now that you're gone (she's really gone)

C                D                   G
Give me back the beat and let's rock on
[Verse 2]
  Am
I feel the pounding of your heart

                   C                 G
But I'm alone here in the dark, it's true

Am
Alleys filled with misery

                C              G
Shadows of your memories break through

        D     C
I never knew

    G             D
How much I needed you
[Chorus]
G
Give me back the beat, give me back the beat

D                C               G
Give me back the only thing that makes my life complete

   G
If you come back to me, I'll be dancing in the street

  D                C               G
I miss the tune we had before that made me tap my feet

             Em                                   A
That used to rock this boy asleep now that you're gone (she's really gone)

C                D                   G
Give me back the beat and let's rock on (ooh, rock on baby)
[Bridge]
  A#                   C                     G
I won't sleep; baby, I can't eat; I'm in too deep

       A#                       C                     D     C
It's a high fall running into a brick wall all by yourself

    Bm               D
But I know what will help
[Solo] G G D C G G G D C G
             Em                                   A
That used to rock this boy asleep now that you're gone (now that you're gone)

   C                D
So give me back the beat, you've got to
[Chorus]
G
Give me back the beat, give me back the beat

D                C               G
Give me back the only thing that makes my life complete

   G
If you come back to me, I'll be dancing in the street

  D                C               G
I miss the tune we had before that made me tap my feet

             Em                                   A
That used to rock this boy asleep now that you're gone (she's really gone)

So Give me back the beat and let's rock on (ooh, rock on baby)
