Intro: C#5 B5 C#5 B5

 |  |  Verse 1:

C#5
   Remember Rio, and get down
B5
   Like some other DJ, in some other town
C#5
   She's been trying to tell me to hold tight
B5                                      C#5
   But I've been waiting this whole ni-ight

   But I've been down
 B5
Across a road or two
C#5
   But now I've found
    B5
The velvet sun, that shines on me and...

 |  | Chorus:

F#5                  B5
You, in the back, uh-huh, I can't crack,
      E5       E5
We're on top
          F#5                    B5
It's just a shimmy and a shake, uh-huh
                    E5
I can't fake, we're on top
      C#5
We're on top

 Break: C#5 B5 C#5 B5

 |  |  Verse 2:

C#5
   The day is breaking, we're still here
B5
   Your body's shaking, and it's clear
C#5
   You really need it, so let go
B5                                  C#5
   And let me feed it, but you kno-ow

   That I've been down
 B5
Across a road or two
C#5
   But now I've found
    B5
The velvet sun, that shines on me and...

 |  |  Chorus:

F#5                  B5
You, in the back, uh-huh, I can't crack,
      E5       E5
We're on top
          F#5                    B5
It's just a shimmy and a shake, uh-huh
                    E5
I can't fake, we're on top
      C#5
We're on top
             F#5                   B5
We bring the bump to the grind, uh-huh
        E5                   E5
I don't mind, we're on top
          F#5                    B5
It's just a shimmy and a shake, uh-huh
                    E5
I can't fake, we're on top
      C#5
We're on top

 |  |  Bridge:

D5        E5            F#5  A5
    And we don't mean to satisfy tonight
D5           E5              F#5     A5
    So get your eyes off of my bride tonight
D5             E5            F#5  A5
    Cause I don't need to satisfy tonight
            B5               E5
It's like a cigarette in the mouth, or a
B5                  E5
   Handshake in the doorway
  B5              E5                 F#5   F#5
I look at you and smile because I'm fine
