C           Em
Hard to say I can see
Am                  G
The writing on the wall
F                     Fm
I knew the time would come again
      C         G
When you would fall
E                                  F
Pray to the man who lives in the shadows
  G              C
Showing you the light
C/E              F
Showing you the light

Chorus:
F
Boogie baby
              A#
You're my lady, I believe you
F
Boogie baby
                        A#
I was gonna write you a fast song
        A#m
Pretty love song
                        F       C
Make it a big rock and roll song
   A#                  F               C/E
So I could watch you sway, watch you sway
Dm                  C  A#           A#m
I could watch you sway, boogie baby
                        F
Where did you boogie tonight?

You meet his eyes, steal away
I will never know the fire burnin' there
Leavin' me stoned and cold
Here's to the man who lives in the shadows

Chorus:
Show him you're the light
Show him you're the light, boogie baby
You're my lady, my lady, boogie baby
I was gonna write you a fast song
Pretty love song
Make it a big rock and roll song
So I could watch you sway, watch you sway
Boogie baby, boogie baby
Oh where'll you boogie tonight
