intro:  Gm   Gm   Gm  Gm/E  
Gmif there's a way that you could be everything you want to be
                            Gm/E  
would you complain that it came too easy
Gmjust like the games with you and me a resolution hard to see
                               Gm/E  
but that's o.k. cause i don't see things that are plain to see
Gmi've got a dream to take you oFver
exploding like a supernEova
i'm gonna crash into your wForld and that's no lie
solo:  Gm   Gm   Gm  Gm/E  
Gmyou want to give ecstasy delivered with certainty
                             Gm/E  
but you're afraid that the pleasure won't be needed
Gmin a way we're the same two people looking out to sea
                       Gm/E  
for a wave that would carry all our fantasies
Gmif there's a way to infilFtrate you
sway your mind and complEicate you
i'm gonna crash into your woFrld and that's no lie
Chorus:
Gmlet your bCody move into Bbthe doorway
Gmto the disco inCside your hBbead (violet)
Gmwear a coClor that you wBbant to cling to
Gmthe color insCide your hBbead (violet)
solo:  Gm   Gm   Gm  Em/E  
Gmcontemplate jealousy intermixed with urgency
                         Gm/E  
a million things take a damned good shot at you and me
Gmif there's a way to infilFtrate you
sway your mind and complEicate you
i'm gonna crash into your woFrld and that's no lie
(Chorus)
Gmto the disco to the disco
Ci'm gonna Bbtake you Fi'll do my bGest to break you

solo:  Gm   Gm   Gm  Gm/E  
Gmcommon sense is a game many people don't like to play
                        Gm/E
