  All night, are you ready
  Cat Fight, what a pity
  Sex hype, nitty gritty
  F#7You are the one that I'm pointing toE7,F7  F#7  
  Come here and give me some
  Eb7Mouse trap, on your body
  Groupies, in the lobby
  Cold Cash, In your pocket
  Cool Vibes, in your socket
  F#7Open the lock to my bedroom doorE7  F7  F#7  
  See what its all about
  Eb7Long drives on the freeway
  Cop Lights in your driveway
  Long rides on the airway
  All night on the runway
Then the bridge goes Eb > B 2 times, use palm muting on the repeated bass notes,
then Bb, then repeat that 3 times, then back to the main riff
  Long drives on the freeway
  Cop Lights in your driveway
  Long rides on the airway
  All night on the runway
  This is the chance i've been waiting for
  Better get out of my way
  Cab ride to the whiskey
  Blue ice make you frisky
  Strobe light on your body
  All night eatin sushi
  Someday you'll know ill be wantin more
  More than the streets can put out
  Bright lights, Big City
  All night, are you ready
  Cat Fight, what a pity
  Sex hype, nitty gritty
  You've got the strut Ive been dreamin about
  Cuttin the crowd like some bread
