[Verse 1]
  Em
I had a bad week
          G          D
Spent the evening pretending
it wasn't that deep
          G         C
You could see in my eyes that
it was taking over
        G          C
I guess I was just blind and
caught up in the moment
             D              Em
You know you take all of my stress
right down
        G             D
Help me get it off my chest and out
         G              C
Into the ether with the rest
of this mess
                     G
that just keeps us depressed
      C
We forget that we're here right now

[Pre-Chorus]
D                   Em
'Cause we're livin' life at
a different pace,
stuck in a constant race
         G                   D
Keep the pressure on, you're bound
to break, something's got to change
G                 C
We should just be cancelling all
our plans and not give a damn
G                C
If we're missin' out on what
the people think is right
D                Em
Seein' through a picture behind
the screen and forget to be
G           D
Lucid conversation for the
message that you'll never read
G             C
I think maybe you and me
                              G
Oh, we should head out to the place
          C
where the music plays
And then

[Chorus]
             Em
We'll go all night
                      G       D
Two-steppin' with the woman I love
                        G
All my troubles turnin' up and
     C                            G
when I'm on your eyes, electrified
C
We'll keep turnin' up
       D   Em
and go all night
                    G
Oh, we had dips and falls
       D
in our time
                    G
But we know what it feels
to be low,
     C                  G
then up, alone and loved
    C                          N.C.
And all we need is us to go all

[Post-Chorus]
Em   G      D

Night, yeah

[Verse 2]
                          Em
What do you reckon, is it just me?
                      G
Words are weapons and occasionally
     D
they cut deep
                         G
Crisis of confidence, it tends
               C
to come when I feel
                       G
the dark and I open my heart
             C
If you don't see it,
you should trust me
            D                Em
I feel like I've got nothin' left
right now
            G             D
Except this beauty in her dress
right now
           G                C
She got me feelin' like the best
and the rest are just less
G                     C
Then she needs, so we press
play and step to the beat

D                   Em
