Intro: G  F  C  F (2x) 

 G                                                    F 
   I was a little too tall, coulda' used a few pounds 
 C                                    F 
   Tight pants, points, hardly renown 
 G                                                  F 
   She was a black haired beauty with big dark eyes 
 C                                            F  G  F  C                       F 
   And points all her own sittin' way up high             way up firm and high 
 G                                                    F 
   Out past the cornfields, where the woods got heavy 
 C                                       F 
   Out in the backseat of my sixty Chevy 
 G                                       F   C 
   Workin on mysteries without any clues 


   C       D      Em          D  C 
   Working on our night moves 
   C         D         Em            D        C 
   Tryin' to make some    front page drive-in news 
   C       D      Em          D   C   G                   F  C      F 
   Workin' on our night moves           in the summertime      hmm 
 G                          F  C  F 
   In the sweet, summertime 

 G                                        F 
   We weren't in love, oh no, far from it 
 C                                                     F 
   We weren't searching for some pie in the sky summit 
 G                                           F  C                     F 
   We were just young and restless and bored      living by the sword 
 G                                           F 
   And we'd steal away every chance we could  
 C                                              F 
   To the back room, alley, or the trusty woods 
 G                                               F  C 
   I used her, she used me but neither one cared      we were getting our share 

  
   C       D      Em          D  C 
   Working on our night moves 
   C         D        Em         D       C 
   Tryin' to lose the    awkward teenage blues  
   C       D      Em          D  C  G                   F  C     F 
   Workin' on our night moves         in the summertime      hmm 
 G                                 F    C  F 
   In the sweet, summertime, summertime
