Lyrics and Chords
Riff: / E E6E7 E7E6 E / /
Intro: Riff x 2
It's been getting so hard
Living with the things you do to me
My dreams keep getting so strange
I'd like to tell you everything I see
/ A - - - / - - - - Riff / :
I see a man at the back, as a matter of fact
His eyes are as red as the sun
And a girl in the corner, let no one ignore her
She thinks she's the passionate one
/ x - - - / : (Scratch a muted E here)
{Bridge 1}
Oh yeah
It was like lightning
Everybody was frightening
And the music was soothing
And they all started grooving
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
/ E - - - / F# - - - / A - - - / C - - - /
/ E - - - / /
{Refrain}
And the man at the back said, "Everyone attack"
And it turned into a ballroom blitz
And the girl in the corner said, "Boy I wanna warn you"
And it turned into a ballroom blitz
Ballroom blitz (x4)
/ F# - A - / B - E - / F# - A - / B - E DD# /
/ E - - DD# / / / Riff x2 /
I'm reaching out for something
Touching nothing's all I ever do
I softly call you over
When you appear there's nothing left of you
Now the man at the back is ready to crack
As he raises his hands to the sky
And the girl in the corner is everyone's moaner
She could kill you with a wink of her eye
{Bridge 2}
Oh yeah
It was electric
So frightfully hectic
And the band started leaping
'Cause they all stopped breathing
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
{Refrain}
{Bridge 1}
{Refrain}
It's, it's a ballroom blitz (3x)
Yeah, it's a ballroom blitz
/ E - - DD# / / / / Riff to fade /
