(VERSE 1)
COoh there’s sGomethin’ bout the skylight tAmonight
Something that makes me kGnow everythin’s gon’ be alCright
There’s somethin’ in the wGay that the stars aAmlign
There’s not a sGingle moment Imma pass Cby
(PRE-CHORUS)
CThe hour’s nowG  
The bass is loudAm  
The disco ligEmhts
Shinin’ through the crowdC  
CWe’re holdin’ time in our hGands and it stops when we Amsay
We say
And we ain’t stGoppin’ ’til the morning light
(CHORUS)
CWe gotta hold back the sun, don’t let it Gcome
Ain’t stoppin’ for no oneAm  
The night is yGoung
Don’t let them tCurn on the lights
Let us dGecide when they play that last sAmong
The night is dGone
When we break the dawnC  
C-G-Am-G  
We break the dawn (x4)
(VERSE 2)
{C-G-Am-G}
Ooh there somethin’ on the surface right now
Somethin’ the keeps me movin’ diggin’ deeper down
So I just let the speakers speak to me
Vibrations movin’ on the floor all around
(PRE-CHORUS)
{C-G-Am-Em-C} {C-G-Am-G}
The hour’s now (yes)
The bass is loud (yes)
The disco lights (yes)
Shinin’ through the crowd
We’re holdin’ time in our hands and it stops when we say
And we ain’t stopping ’til the morning light
(CHORUS)
We gotta hold back the sun, don’t let it come
Ain’t stoppin’ for no one
The night is young
Don’t let them turn on the lights
Let us decide when they play that last song
The night is done
When we break the dawn
We break the dawn (x8)
(BRIDGE)
The dAmaylight sGcene never hurt nobody
AmAnd if the DJ decGides there ain’t no more party
AmCuz we’re turnin wGhen we’re good and ready
We Amstep outside
Til the Gsunrise
                   C-G-Am-G  
Wait up and let me…
CWe ain’t goin’ nGowhere
’til we good and Amready
GOoooh, break the dawnC!
(CHORUS)
We gotta hold back the sun, don’t let it come
Ain’t stoppin’ for no one
The night is young
Don’t let them turn on the lights
Let us decide when they play that last song
The night is done (keep it goin’)
(CHORUS)
We gotta hold back the sun, don’t let it come
Ain’t stoppin’ for no one
The night is young (the night is young)
Don’t let them turn on the lights
Let us decide when they play that last song
The night is done
We gotta hold back the sun…
We break the dawn….(repeat)
