 Am,

Verse 1:

 Am                
 C                     
 Am          
 C
Music has charms they say

 Am                  
 Gm7
But in some people's hands

 Fm7   
 C#maj7        
 Fm7       
 C#maj7          
 Ab
It         becomes a savage beast
                     
 Bb
Can't they control it

 Ab                         
 Bb       
 C
Why don't they hold it back

Verse 2:
You see my friend and me
Don't have an easy day
And at night we dance not fight
We need the energy
If not the sympathy

Bridge:

 Eb         
 Fm7
But I'm brutalized by bass

 Eb                
 Fm7
And terrorized by treble

 Eb                  
 Fm7
I'm open to change my mood but

 Eb                     
 Fm7
I always get caught in the middle

Chorus:

 Dm7
And I get tired of DJ's

Why is it always what he plays

I'm gonna push right through

I'm gonna tell him too

Tell him to play us
                    
 C       
 Am          
 Fm7, 
 Bb, 
 A, 
 G
Play us a slow song (4 times. On the fourth do not play the G)

Verse 3:
It's late- I'm winding down
Am I the only one
To want a strong and silent sound
To pick me up and undress me
Lay me down and caress me

Verse 4:
I feel your touch my hand
And whisper in my ear
Ask me how I'm feeling now
And I want to get near you
But I can't even hear you

Bridge 2:
But this is a fine romance
If we have to be so demanding
We need just one more dance to
Leave here with an understanding

Repeat Chorus

Solo:

 Ab, 
 Bb (4 times)

 Fm7

Repeat Chorus:

End with:

 C, 
 Am
