Main riff for 2 bars then 2nd guitar comes in


Verse:

Well it's been getting so hard,
Living with the things you do to me   -Main Riff Twice W/ 2nd Guitar-

My dreams are getting so strange
I'd like to tell you everything I see   -Main Riff Twice W/ 2nd Guitar-


Pre-Chorus:

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 'cause 
She thinks she's the passionate one

                                           
Oh yeah, it was like lightning, everybody was frightning
                                               
and the music was soothing and they all started grooving

Oh yeah


Chorus:

                             
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
E   F#   G     (Some wierd 2nd guitar bit)
Ballroom blitz                              -Repeat-


Verse 2:

I'm reaching out for something
touching nothing's all I ever do   -Main Riff Twice W/ 2nd Guitar-

I softly call you over
When you appear there's nothing left of you   -Main Riff Twice W/ 2nd Guitar-


Pre-chorus:

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

                                      
Oh yeah, it was electric, so frightfully hectic
                                                    
And the band started leaping 'cause they all stopped breathing

Oh yeah


Chorus:

                             
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  -Repeat-
