[Intro]
A pedal
O-o-o-o
ver-ver-ver-ver dri-i-i-i i-i-i-i [Synth Solo] Am C F G [Verse 1]
Am                                          C
When I enter a room there shines a blinding light

F                G
It is so bright, people shield their eyes

Am                                        C
I take a step back and pivot around on my feet

F                   G
So everyone can see what I am wearing

Am                                          C
Beam a smile to the host at the back of the room

     F                     G
Then tip my hat so slowly; man, that's really cool!

Am
Oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh whoa

C
Oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh whoa

F
Oh, oh, oh

G
Oh, oh, oh
[Pre-Chorus]
Am
I've got my hand and the room is on it

      C
On my palm, make 'em all dance to and fro

F
With their eyes, their sight drinks me in

          G
And tries to comprehend all of my

Am
Charming looks
Chiseled face
C
Glowing eyes

F
Then they stare at my moves

G
Gleaming smile (Glowing eyes)
And fancy shoes N.C. That's when we go into... [Chorus]
Am
Overdrive

C
Overdrive

Dm          Am
Oh-oh-oh-oh-overdrive

Am

Dm     Am
Oh-ver-drive
[Post-Chorus]
Am                      F                 C   G
Our heads are on right, we are just in an overdrive

        Am               F                  C            G
And our dancing comes so naturally we don't even have to try

                Am                           F
We've got these moves (You think they're not cool?)
We don't know how to dance!
        C                     G
We just carry ourselves in an overdriven stance

Am             F              C
Oh, oh-whoa-oh-oh, oh-whoa-oh-oh,

G
oh-whoa-whoa-oh
[Verse 2]
Am                                                      C
I drive my car straight through the walls, into the ballroom

    F                                      G
And people gasp when they realize that the car matches the color of my eyes

Am                                               C
My head is rocking back and forth, synced to the beat

    F                             G
And all the while I’m tapping the dance floor with my feet

Am                                               C
Point to the ceiling just before the music comes on (dance floor, dance floor oh!)

    F                               G
And no one will be prepared, for my moves at they will have stared (dance, dance, dance dance, dance dance)

Am
Oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh whoa (dance)

C
Oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh whoa (dance floor)

F
Oh, oh, oh (come on!)

G
Oh, oh, oh (tap those feet)
[Pre-Chorus]
Am
I've got my hand and the room is on it (oh yeah)

      C
On my palm, make 'em all dance to and fro

F
With their eyes, their sight drinks me in

          G
And tries to comprehend all of my (okay)

Am
Charming looks
Chiseled face
C
Glowing eyes

F
Then they stare at my moves

G
Gleaming smile (Glowing eyes)
And fancy shoes N.C. That's when we go into... [Chorus]
Am

[Break] Whoa. [Post-Chorus]
Am           F         C        G
Overdrive is taking me over and driving me

Am              F            C            G
Overdrive don't stop, we all like this feeling (overdrive)

Am                      F                 C   G
Our heads are on right, we are just in an overdrive (you know it's true)

        Am               F                  C            G
And our dancing comes so naturally we don't even have to try (overdrive)

                Am                           F
We've got these moves (You think they're not cool?) (oh yeah)
We don't know how to dance!
        C                     G
We just carry ourselves in an overdriven stance (yeah!)

Am             F              C
Oh, oh-whoa-oh-oh, oh-whoa-oh-oh, (oh yeah)

G
oh-whoa-whoa-oh
[Bridge] (Rap)
Am
Grab your ears and disappear 'cause SPG is here

     F
With rhymes and beats so hot they sear through all your fears

    C
Everybody start to cheer and break down what you hear

G
'Cause I'm gonna drop a sphere of sound that'll make your eyes tear

        Am
All you people 'round in here better get in gear

               F
'Cause when I started my career it was to last hundred years

    C
The party won't stop, now that's pretty clear

       G
'Cause all of the exits I have commandeered

  Am
A fat cat sat on my hat

    F
And spat a rat up on my bathmat

   C
He once knew a gnat, his name was Pat

G
He liked to chat, but his pitch was flat

   Am
My friend went splat, where she at?

        F
Was she flying with her homies like a leaf-nosed bat

C
Into a big vat
Of strawberry fruit snacks
G
Losing all her health stats because of that?
[Post-Chorus]
Am           F         C        G
Overdrive is taking me over and driving me

Am              N.C.
Overdrive don't stop!

       C            G                        Am
We all like this feeling (everybody put your hands up!)
[Chorus]
Am
Overdrive

C
Overdrive

Dm          Am               Am
Oh-oh-oh-oh-overdrive (don't stop)

                 C
Overdrive (don't stop)

                 Dm
Overdrive (don't stop)

       Am
Oh-ver-drive!
N.C. Yeah.
