[Intro]
A   Am7     G/B     D/F#
[Verse 1]
AA prima donna, slipAm7ped into her leather
G/BBut she was restless
D/F#She knew it in her heart of hearts
AShe said: "TAm7onight you'd better pull yourself together
G/BBecause tonight I'm gonna D/F#pull myself apart!"
F#mOut on the streets
Everyone is sEearchin' for a thrill
F#mBut she's the only one that's out there
Really dEressed to kill
And Ashe said: "LE7isten to Ame, itE7's not a tAragedy
This E7time I'm gettin' thArough
And nE7ow there's something yAou can do for me!
[Refrain 1]
F#mAnd oh, Eoh, take me to the wild Dplaces
F#mAnd let me Eshow you what the night is Dfor
F#m'Cos I don't Ewanna dream
I wanna set the wheels in mDotion
F#mI don't wanna Esee your eyes across a danBcin' floor"
[Verse 2]
ATV angel with her eAm7yes full of smoke
GG/Bazin' at the hero, he's so mD/F#ucho macho
AHe shrugs, he says: "This Am7must be some kind of joke"
G/BAs she pulls on his cigarette
And lD/F#oves him to distraction
But shF#me cries, "I don't wanna fEeel like a machine
I'm nF#mot the only one who wants to Efeel the in-bAetween
That's E7why AI'm deep into this E7state of fascAination
ThaE7t's why I've lAost the aE7rt of converAsation
[Refrain 2]
F#mAnd oh, Eoh, take me to the wild Dplaces
F#mIf you wanna Esee what's really in my Dsoul
F#mBut you'd better kEeep your eye on where my pretty fDace is
F#m'Cos in the hEeat of the moment I just lose coDntrol
F#mIn the heat of the mEoment, I just lE6ose contArol!"

[Intro]

A Am7 G/B D/F#

[Verse 1]

A Am7

A prima donna, slipped into her leather

G/B

But she was restless

D/F#

She knew it in her heart of hearts

A Am7

She said: "Tonight you'd better pull yourself together

G/B D/F#

Because tonight I'm gonna pull myself apart!"

F#m

Out on the streets

Everyone is searchin' for a thrill

F#m

But she's the only one that's out there

Really dressed to kill

A E7 A E7 A

And she said: "Listen to me, it's not a tragedy

E7 A

This time I'm gettin' through

E7 A

And now there's something you can do for me!

[Refrain 1]

F#m E D

And oh, oh, take me to the wild places

F#m E D

And let me show you what the night is for

F#m E

'Cos I don't wanna dream

I wanna set the wheels in motion

F#m E B

I don't wanna see your eyes across a dancin' floor"

[Verse 2]

A Am7

TV angel with her eyes full of smoke

G/B D/F#

Gazin' at the hero, he's so mucho macho

A Am7

He shrugs, he says: "This must be some kind of joke"

G/B

As she pulls on his cigarette

D/F#

And loves him to distraction

F#m E

But she cries, "I don't wanna feel like a machine

F#m E A

I'm not the only one who wants to feel the in-between

E7 A E7 A

That's why I'm deep into this state of fascination

E7 A E7 A

That's why I've lost the art of conversation

[Refrain 2]

F#m E D

And oh, oh, take me to the wild places

F#m E D

If you wanna see what's really in my soul

F#m E D

But you'd better keep your eye on where my pretty face is

F#m E D

'Cos in the heat of the moment I just lose control

F#m E E6 A

In the heat of the moment, I just lose control!"

[Verse 3]

A Am7

Eyes out of focus, the sharpening of blades

G/B D/F#

The sad tension, reek of patchouli

A Am7

Even the Jokers are dealin' in Spades

G/B D/F#

It's one dimension, it's all so passé

F#m

Just then a voice said:

"Honey, it's too late to change your mind"

F#m

Her face tightened

E E6 E7

I could see she'd found a new design

A E7 A E7 A

And she said: "Listen to me, it's just a fantasy

E7 A

This time I'm comin' through

And now there's something you can do for me...

[Refrain 3]

F#m E D

And oh, oh, take me to the wild places

F#m E D

And let me show you what the night is for

I wanna see your eyes across a dancin' floor
