[Verse]
E D E E D A
Lonely is the night when you find yourself alone

E D E E D A
Your demons come to light and your mind is not your own

E D E E D A
Lonely is the night when there's no one left to call

E D E E D A
You feel the time is right--[say] the writin's on the wall

[Interlude]

[Verse]
E D E E D A
It's a high time to fight when the walls are closin' in

E D E E D A
Call it what you like--it's time you got to win

E D E E D A
Lonely, lonely, lonely--your spirit's sinkin' down

E D E E D A
You find you're not the only stranger in this town

[Chorus]
B5 E5 B5 A5 E5
Red lights, green lights, stop 'n go drive

B5 A5 B5 A5 E5
Headlines, deadlines jammin' your mind

D C D C G
You been stealin' shots from the side

D C D C G
Let your feelin's go for a ride

[Bridge]

[Verse]
E D E E D A
There's danger out tonight.. The man is on the prowl
E D E E D A
Get the dynamite... The boys are set to howl
E D E E D A
Lonely is the night when you hear the voices call
E D E E D A
Are you ready for a fight--do you wanna take it all

[Chorus]
B5 A5 B5 A5 E5
Slowdown, showdown--waitin' on line

B5 A5 B5 A5 E5
Showtime, no time for changin' your mind

D C D D C G
Streets are ringin', march to the sound

D C D D C G
Let your secrets follow you down

E D E
Somebody's watchin' you baby--so much you can do
E D E
Nobody's stoppin' you baby, from makin' it too
E D E
One glimpse'll show you now baby, what the music can do
E D E
One kiss'll show you now baby--it can happen to you

[Chorus]
B5 A5 B5 A5 E5
No more sleepin', wastin' our time
B5 A5 B5 A5 E5
Midnight creepin's first on our minds
B5 A5 B5 A5 E5
No more lazin' 'round the tv
B5 A5 B5 A5 E5
You'll go crazy--come out with me
