Dm
Taken to the floor with the reach to the sky
    F               C/E
I loosen my tie, I loosen my tie
Dm
locking down the door with the rhythm and rhyme
   F                C/E
I loosen my tie, I loosen my tie

Trying to recall what you want me to say
I shake your way, I shake your way
Counting on the night for a beautiful day
I shake your way, I shake your way

           Dm                 F C/E
And I say you can't get enough
    Dm                 F C/E
No you can't get enough

Chorus:
G
Given a chance
         D      A
I wanna be somebody
G
If for one dance
         D      Bm
I wanna be somebody
G
Open the door
            D        A
It's gonna make you love me
G
Facing the door
         D      Bm
I wanna be somebody

Now is your time and you know where you stand
With a gun in your hand, with a gun in your hand
Now I'm no longer an ordinary man
Was this your big plan, your gun in your hand
And I say you can't get enough
No you can't get enough

Chorus
