[C#m]
[A] [E]
[G#m] [C#m] Oh the wind whistles down [A] the cold dark street tonight
[E] And the people they were dancing [G#m] to the music vibe
[C#m] And the boys, the girls, the girls in the [A] hair
While the shaterman, he just slid away over [E] there
And the songs they get louder each one better [G#m] than before
And [C#m] you're singing the songs thinking this isn't life
And you [A] wake up in the morning and your hip is twisted size
Where you [E] gonna go, where you gonna go, where you gonna [G#m] sleep tonight?
And [C#m] you're singing the songs thinking this isn't life
And you [A] wake up in the morning and your hip is twisted size
Where you [E] gonna go, where you gonna go, where you gonna [G#m] sleep tonight?
Where you gonna [C#m] sleep tonight?
[A] [E]
[G#m] So [C#m] you're heading down the road in your taxi for [A] four
And you're waiting outside in Jim's fun [E] car
But nobody's in, and nobody's [G#m] home till four
[C#m] So you're sitting there with nothing to [A] do
Talking about Robber Ryder and his model A [E]-2
And where you gonna go, [G#m] if you gonna sleep tonight?
And [C#m] you're singing the songs thinking this isn't life
And [A] you wake up in the morning and your hip is twisted size
Where [E] you gonna go, where you gonna go, where you gonna [G#m] sleep tonight?
And [C#m] you're singing the songs thinking this isn't life
And [A] you wake up in the morning and your hip is twisted size
Where [E] are you gonna go?
Where are you gonna go?
Where you gonna [G#m] sleep tonight?
Where are you gonna [C#m] sleep tonight?
[A] [E]
[G#m] [C#m]
[A] [E]
[G#m] And you're singing a [C#m] song thinking this is the life
And [A] you wake up in the morning and your head feels so stressed
Where are [E] you gonna go?
Where are you gonna go?
Where are you gonna sleep [G#m] tonight?
And you're singing a [C#m] song thinking this is the life
and [A] you wake up in the morning
and you're helpless because of size
Where [E] are gonna go?
Where are you gonna go
Where are you gonna [G#m] sleep tonight?
And you are singing a [C#m] song
thinking this is our lives
and [A] you wake up in the morning
and you're helpless because of size
Where [E] are you gonna go?
Where are you gonna go
Where are you gonna sleep [G#m] tonight?
And [C#m] you are singing a song
thinking this is our lives
and [A] you wake up in the morning
and you're helpless because of size
Where [E] are you gonna go?
Where are you gonna go
Where are you gonna sleep [G#m] tonight?
We ain't gonna sleep [C#m] tonight
[A] [E] [G#m]
