Bm                 D 
You're wide awake, your heart beats 
A                  G 
Sister Mary in her burning dress with god at her feet 
Bm                  D 
They take and take, but no more 
A                      G                                Em 
Cause now you're gonna show em what the night is really for 
               G 
And leave your heart out on the dance floor 

Bm                 D 
Put your hands up, it's all right 
A                     G 
Saying "oh ho oh oh", until the sunrise 
Bm                      D 
And if you can't sleep, do it all night 
A                     G 
Saying "oh ho oh oh", and don't you ever fade away 

Bm                 D 
Your life is full, of hard days 
A                  G 
You try to hold it down but it's more than you can take 
Bm                     D 
Those flashing lights, they shine down 
A                           Em 
It's hard as hell to try to keep your head in this town 

G 
So we're gonna burn the place down 

Bm                 D 
Put your hands up, it's all right 
A                     G 
Saying "oh ho oh oh", until the sunrise 
Bm                      D 
And if you can't sleep, do it all night 
A                     G 
Saying "oh ho oh oh", and don't you ever fade away 

(Bm D A G)
