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 Overdrive C Overdrive 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 Overdrive C Overdrive Dm Am Oh-oh-oh-oh-overdrive (okay) Am Overdrive C Overdrive Dm Am Oh-ver-drive
[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.
