F Bobby was a kid from round the town A# Kicks pumped up and head held down F A# Underwater more than he was up F He dreamed submarines in bottle green A# Imaginary flight machines F A# But in blue jean flares he’d bubble like a 7UP Gm Am Dm Everybody wants to know you when you’re the only one to know A# F/A Shoot it ‘til you feel alive then play one more Gm show Chorus: D# A# F Plug into the buzz and shake it ‘til it turns around C You can’t stop feeling D# A# F The Paul Smith suits and the elevator boots astound C And you can’t help healing D# A# They want you and you want to F C With their lips on fire and your head unscrewed D# A# But it’s time to whip another change F A# and hit one more town Bobby doesn't know her name He holds on tightly just the same Sometimes one more night is all you need I met Alice near the Alamo One summer in San Antonio I remember her, I don't remember me Everybody wants to know you When you're the only one to know Man, anything to feel alive and play one more show Chorus: Plug into the buzz and shake it 'til it turns around And you can't stop feeling The Paul Smith suits and the elevator boots astound And you can't help healing They want you and you want to With their hips on fire and your head unglued 'Til it's time to whip another change and hit one more town A# Alice knows the secret Am And she could tell you now Gm If you want to G# 'cause they want you D# Do you want to I snake and sparkle, pant and glide But it's hard to feel and I can't get high And I don't always understand how to smile Man, kids get sick of bein' bottled up It drags you down until you throw it up Gotta get out of the house, and take a ride on the radio dial And everybody wants to know you When you're the only one to know Everything that feels alive is in one more show Chorus: Plug into the buzz and shake it 'til it turns around And you can't stop feeling The Paul Smith suits and the elevator boots astound And you can't help healing They want you and you want to With their kiss so clean, with their soul shampooed And it's time to whip another change and hit one more town Oh yeah, it's time to whip another change and hit one more town Hey, man, it's time to whip another change and hit one more town You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA  Am  A#  C  Dm  D#  F  Gm  G#  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
