Am
[Verse 1]
I'm rockin' tonite, I'm walkin' on air
Dm Am
Gonna find me some trouble, gonna grab my share
I want ya tonite, I want ya with me
Dm Am
Make me guilty of love in the first degree, yeah
(You want it all right) We're goin' in style
Dm Am
Say you walk right, you talk right, and your hair's so wild
(Snow-white) Hey that's not what I mean
Dm Am
We go down in the shadows and crawl between
[Pre-chorus]

Moonlight in the city brings the magic to your eyes
C Am
Freezin' a moment, leave me paralyzed
Dm F
Breathe an emotion, set it dancin' in my ear

Bring on the rhythm when I hold you near
[Chorus 1]

Take me to your heart, rock me tonite
[Verse 2]
Am
(You do it all right) You're passion to see
Dm Am
You been schooled in the arts of romancin' me
(Hold tight) You're in for a ride
Dm Am
Can you feel the blood poundin' way down inside
No one's stoppin' us now
Dm Am
We go down, down where the music's loud
(If it's all night) Hey that's all right by me
Dm Am
Go and play on my love, play it all of me
[Pre-chorus]

Live every moment, on that we can agree

A step beyond the borderline

Of wakin' up and breakin' down

N.C.
You find a chance and heave it all away, c’mon babe
