INTRO:  
18 bars drums, then play RIFF four times 
 
A
It's been getting so hard 
                       E
living with the things you do to me             {RIFF TWICE} 
 A
My dreams are getting so strange 
                         E
I'd like to tell you everything I see           {RIFF TWICE} 
 
{NO CHORD} 
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 
 
E             F#                 A
Oh yeah, it was like lightning, everybody was frightening 
          C                  E
and the music was soothing and they all started grooving 
E
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah 
 
 
Chorus: 
 
     F#            A
And the man at the back said "Everyone attack"  
    B                E
and it turned into a ballroom blitz 
     F#                 A
And the girl in the corner said "Boy I wanna warn you" 
    B                E
and it turned into a ballroom blitz 
D  D#   E
Ballroom blitz          {repeat 4 times} 
 
{RIFF TWICE} 
 
I'm reaching out for something 
touching nothing's all I ever do                {RIFF TWICE} 
I softly call you over 
When you appear there's nothing left of you     {RIFF TWICE} 
 
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 
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah 
 
 
Chorus 
 
Oh yeah, it was like lightning, everybody was frightening 
and the music was soothing and they all started grooving 
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah 
 
 
Chorus 
 
 
E                     D
It's, it's a ballroom blitz             {repeat 3 times} 
 
E
Yeah, it's a ballroom blitz 
 
REPEAT RIFF AND FADE
