[Chorus]
D
  I know a place
  Am
A place where we belong
               C
Where we can dance
          Em
All night long
D
  Come take my hand
Am
When the lights are gone
          C
We stay awake
               Em
From dusk 'til dawn
Yeah

C5
  This must be the place
D5 E5
To attack with the
          F#5 G5
 force of the bass
A5 B5    D5
       Reset!

C5 D5 E5 F#5
G5
Seven is the number,
A5        B5    D5
 the 8th wonder

[Verse 1]
C5
  We got the sound,
                   D5
we're raving fast
C5
  Enjoy the night,
                       D5
 it might be your last
C5
Wizards on the keys and
                D5
 me on the wire
  D5
Believe what I say,
 we are still on fire
     C5
From twelve A.M. to
                  D5
the early morning
C5
  You can be sure
                       D5
it's the final warning
    C5
I'm raw hot, super shot,
                      D5
 gonna make your body rock
E5
Tick-tock, got the drop,
 rave on, never stop
