A                                        E A
Wake up in time to see the sun going down
A
Turn on the six o' clock news
A                                 E A
See what's happening in this town
A                                E A
I take a walk down to the corner
A
I meet those bad girls hanging around
A                           E A
Never doing what they oughta

Chorus:
       F#m E
Oooh, yeah
   D                        F#m  E
I get caught up in the action
       D                          F#m  E
Gotta find the main attraction now
       D                   F#m E
Gotta get some satisfaction
     D                                     A
You better take me to heart of that night life
 D                A
Looking for some night life
 D                   A
Need a little night life
 D             E                             A
Living in the daylight just don't agree with me
A
Oooh, night life

Stealing through the night like a wolf on the prowl
Not a bird, not a plane
I'm just a mean old night owl
Watch me hit, run, gotta move on
Going wild in the night, 'cause I'm hooked on
the neon

Chorus:
Oooh, yeah
I'm looking for some action
I gotta find my main attraction now
'Cause I need some satisfaction
Won't you take me to the heart of that night life
A little bit of night life
Oooh, I need some night life full of bright
lights and noise
It's time to separate the men from the boys

 A
(Night life) I ain't talking about no high-life
   D
cabaret
 A
(Night life) I need something, just something to
  D
pull me away
 A                                     D
(Night life) Yeah, holding me and the noise
E
It's time to separate the men from the boys
A                              D
(Night life) It can get kinda rough
A
(Night life) We'll see who's standing when the
          D
sun comes up
A                            D
(Night life) Yeah, the skyscrapers
         E
But the night life is a formal attraction
A                 D                A
(Night life) Yeah, c'mon, c'mon.  Night life
        D
Whoo!  Oooh, oooh
A                      D
Night life.  Anything goes
E
Night life.  Having the time of my life
A                      D
(Night life) All in a day
A                        D
(Night life) We're all crazy, baby
A                   D          E
(Night life) Ha.  Whoo, oooh, oooh, oooh!
