(Before first verse, during the “Ooohs”) D G Bm A Verse 1: D Pop music 101 Some simple instructions G For a good first impression Now let’s start with a first one: Bm A minor chord, tensions grow; Fade in the bass like so; G Now with momentum go “stop” And bring the beat back D It’s called Four-on-the-floor A beat you can’t ignore G I’ll bring sexy back once more [“yeah!”] They’ll love that [“yeah!”] fo’ sho’! Bm The chords are 1-4-6-4 Now I’m talkin familiar G Harmony in thirds, not fourths Will take you into the pre-chorus Pre-chorus: Bm Real quick now, don’t you bore us A Hurry up and get to the chorus! G Dumb down, they won’t ignore us Chorus: G Get to the floor! Bm A G And here’s some words you should know: D A G Like “DJ never let me go” Bm A G "pour shots", and then I’ll "lose control"! D A Or “baby baby baby baby baby” G A How about one more last word like G Bm A "Hey girl, we’ve only got tonight"? G A Some things just go together like: G Bm A "higher", "desire" and "fire;" "higher", "desire" and "fire" Verse 2: D Guitar and strings like these To sound like Black Eyed Peas G This one’s a filtered swing This one’s a legend key Bm Hipster music on cassette But you probably don’t know that yet G 808’s-… [“hey! ho!”] Hell yeah! D Heartfelt pop anthems From Mumford and his Sons G Gang vocals here we come Bm “I… Will… A Always wait” [wobble bass] Pre-chorus 'Kay, slow down… Take it to the chorus! Chorus Bridge: D I can pitch and shift my voice if I want G I can pitch and shift my voice if I want Bm I can pitch and shift my voice if I want A I can make my voice low D The bridge is The part when You bring in A rapper friend. [“Sup?”] G You simplify, you slow the beat Abbreviate, feature defeat Bm Quick now, fill in the gaps. [“Okay!!”] Right up and down, eliminate that which you A Really would rap an’ Give them a classic like “Get-get-get-get…” Chorus [random dance music and beat-boxing weirdness]
