Cm
I feel uptight on a Saturday night
D#                                 A#   F
Nine O'clock the radio's the only light
Cm
I hear my song and it pulls me through
D#                                     A#    F
Comes on strong tells me what I go to do. I got to

Chorus:
    G#
Get up!
Everybody's gonna move their feet
     A#
Get down!
Everybody's gonna leave their seat

Cm
You gotta lose your mind in Detroit Rock City

Chorus:
    G#
Get Up!
Everybody's gonna move their feet
     A#
Get down!
Everybody's gonna leave their seat

Getting late, I just can't wait
Ten o'clock and I know I gotta hit the road
First I drink, then I smoke
Start the car and I try to make the midnight show

Chorus:
    G#
Get up!
Everybody's gonna move their feet
     A#
Get down!
Everybody's gonna leave their seat

Moving fast, down 95
Hit top speed, but I'm still moving much too slow
I feel so good, I'm so alive
Hear my song playing on the radio, it goes

Chorus:
Get up!
Everybody's gonna move their feet
Get down!
Everybody's gonna leave their seat

Twelve o'clock, I gotta rock
There's a truck ahead, lights staring at my eyes
Oh my God, no time to turn
I got to laugh 'cause I know I'm gonna die
Why?
