     A                          Asus4  A     Esus4 E
You get up every morning at the sound of the bell
     A                       Asus4       A
You get to work late and the boss man's giving you
Esus4  E
hell
             D        E       F#m
Till you're out on a midnight run
              D         E        F#m
Losing your heart to a beautiful one
              D            F#m
And it feels right, as you lock up the house,
 Bm
turn out the lights
      B                Esus4 E
And step out into the night
         G               A       Bm
And the world is busting at its seams
            G              A        Bm
And you're just a prisoner of your dreams
                    F#m              Bm
Holding on for your life, 'cause you work all day
         B              Esus4 E Esus4 E
To blow 'em away in the night

The rat traps filled with soul crusaders
The circuit's lined and jammed with chromed invaders
And she's so pretty that you're lost in the stars
As you jockey your way through the cars
And sit at the light, as it changes to green
With your faith in your machine off you scream into
the night
And you're in love with all the wonder it brings
And every muscle in your body sings as the highway
ignites
You work nine to five and somehow you survive
'til the night

     B                                      A    E
Well all day they're busting you up on the outside
     B
But tonight you're gonna break on through to the
D   A
inside
              B
And it'll be right, it'll be right,
                Esus4  E  Esus4  E
and it'll be tonight
          G               A      Bm
And you know she will be waiting there
            G            A       Bm
And you'll find her somehow you swear
             Csus2        Bsus4
Somewhere tonight, you run sad and free
      B                       Esus4
Until all you can see is the night
