(Em7)
When he walks in her room, he feels confused, like he walked into a play,
(Em7)
And the music's so loud, it spins him around, till his soul has lost it's way,
Em F#m G(type2)
And as she turns the volume down,
G(type2) Ab A
He's getting smaller with the sound,
C D
It seems to pull him off the ground, toward the radio he's bound,
E
Never to be found---------!
