     D7            Am                    D7
I'm home, lost my job, and incurably i'll,
                      Am
You think this is easy, realism.
                      D7
I've got a girl out there, I suppose,
                     Am
I think she's dancing.
                             D7
Feel like Dan Dare lies down.
I think she's dancing, what do I know?

Chorus:
Am              E7
 I am a D.J., I am what I play,
F7                                                 G
 Can't turn around no, can't turn around, no, oh, ooh.
Am              E7
 I am a D.J., I am what I play,
F7
 Can't turn around no, can't turn around, no, oh no.
Am              E7
 I am a D.J., I am what I play,
F7
 I got believers
(kiss-kiss) believing me.

Am               D7
One more, weekend, of lights and evening faces,
Am                      D7
Fast food, living nostalgia, humble pie or bitter fruit.

Chorus:
I am a D.J., I am what I play
Can't turn around, no, can't turn around, no, oh, ooh
I am a D.J., I am what I say
Can't turn around, no, can't turn around, ooh
I am a D.J., I am what I play
I've got believers
Believing me

I am a D.J., I am what I play
Can't turn around, no, can't turn around
I am a D.J., I am what I play
Can't turn around, no, can't turn around
I am a D.J., I am what I play
Can't turn around no (kiss-kiss)

Time flies when you're having fun
Break his heart, break her heart
He used to be my boss and now he is a puppet dancer
I am a D.J., and I've got believers

D9                 Am
 I've got believers,
D9                  Am
 I've got believers,
D9                     Am D9 Am
 I've got believers in me.
D9          Am
 I am a D.J.,
  D9
I am what I play.
Am
 I am a D.J.
