Intro: the bass plays riff 1, guitar plays riff 2. (riff 1 x2, riff 1 and 2 together x2, riff 3, riff 1 and 2 together x3, riff 3, riff 1 and 2 together, riff 4) [Riff 1 and 2] x2 [Riff 1 and 2] And all I see is little dots [Riff 1 and 2] Some are smeared and some are spots [Riff 3] Feels like a murder but that's alright [Riff 1 and 2] [Riff 1 and 2] Somebody said there's too much light [Riff 1 and 2] Pull down the shade and it's alright [Riff 3] It'll be over in a minute or two. [Riff 1 and 2] [Riff 4] I'm charged up...don't put me down Don't feel like talking...don't mess around I feel mean...I feel o.k. I'm charged up...electricity [Riff 1 and 2] The boys are making a big mess [Riff 1 and 2] This makes the girls all start to laugh [Riff 3] I don't know what they're talking about [Riff 1 and 2] [Riff 1 and 2] The boys are worried, the girls are shocked [Riff 1 and 2] They pick the sound and let it drop [Riff 3] Nobody knows what they're talking about [Riff 1 and 2] [Riff 4] I'm charged up...I'm kinda wooden I'm barely moving...I study motion I study myself...I fooled myself I'm charged up...it's pretty intense. [Riff 4] I'm charged up...don't put me down Don't feel like talking...don't mess around I feel mean...I feel o.k. I'm charged up...electricity...That's what I call it [Riff 1 and 2] x8 (after every other play on the high E--13~--)
