[Intro]   
C   Am   Dm   G
[Verse]
Don't get me Cwrong
If I'm looking kind of Amdazzled
I see Dmneon lights
Whenever you walk G7by
Don't get me Cwrong
If you say hello and AmI take a ride
Upon a sea where the Dmmystic moon
Is playing havoc Gwith the tide
Don't get me CwrongAm  Dm  G  
Don't get me Cwrong
If I'm acting so disAmtracted
I'm thinking about the Dmfireworks
That go off when you Gsmile
Don't get me Cwrong
If I split like light reAmfracted
I'm only off to DmwanderG  
Across a moonlit Cmile
[Bridge]
DmOnce in a whileG  
DmTwo people meetG  
DmSeemingly for no Greason
They just Dmpass on the streetG  
DmSuddenly thGunder, Dmshowers everywhereG  
Gsus4Who can exGplain the Gsus4thunder and Grain
But there's Gsus4something Gin the air
[Solo]
C Am Dm G  C Am Dm G
[Verse]
Don't get me Cwrong
If I come and go like Amfashion
I might be great toDmmorrow
But hopeless yesterGday
Don't get me Cwrong
If I fall in the mode of Ampassion
It might be unbeDmlievableG  
But let's not say 'so Amlong'
It might just be fanDmtasticG  
Don't get me Amwrong...
Am  Am  Am

Gsus4

[Intro]

C Am Dm G

[Verse]

Don't get me wrong

If I'm looking kind of dazzled

I see neon lights

Whenever you walk by

Don't get me wrong

If you say hello and I take a ride

Upon a sea where the mystic moon

Is playing havoc with the tide

C Am Dm G

Don't get me wrong

If I'm acting so distracted

I'm thinking about the fireworks

That go off when you smile

Don't get me wrong

If I split like light refracted

Dm G

I'm only off to wander

Across a moonlit mile

[Bridge]

Dm G

Once in a while

Dm G

Two people meet

Dm G

Seemingly for no reason

Dm G

They just pass on the street

Dm G Dm G

Suddenly thunder, showers everywhere

Gsus4 G Gsus4 G

Who can explain the thunder and rain

Gsus4 G

But there's something in the air

[Solo]

C Am Dm G C Am Dm G

[Verse]

Don't get me wrong

If I come and go like fashion

I might be great tomorrow

But hopeless yesterday

Don't get me wrong

If I fall in the mode of passion

Dm G

It might be unbelievable

But let's not say 'so long'

Dm G

It might just be fantastic

Don't get me wrong...
