      A
When night time comes
G             D              A G D
And I'm ten thousand miles away
      A
Just lose yourself
G              D                   A G D
And watch the band kick back and play

Chorus:
 C
Get up keep in line
G                             A  G D
It's getting tighter all the time
C
You say, you're feeling fine
G                             A  G D
It's getting tighter all the time

Get a load off your mind
This place is right it's hard to find
The mood is set alright
It's going to be a long, long night

You keep spinning around
You find it hard to touch the ground
And time is all it takes
You'll find it easy once you make

Chorus:
C
Get up keep in line
G                             A  G D
It's getting tighter all the time
C             G
Getting tighter

A              G  D
Getting tighter
A              G  D
Getting tighter
A              G  D
Getting tighter
A              G  D
Getting tighter
A              G  D
Getting tighter
A              G  D
Getting tighter
A              G  D
Getting tighter
A              G  D
Getting tighter
