Bm                D
You're wide awake, your heart beats
A                   G
Sister Mary in her burning dress
with god at her feet
Bm                 D
They take and take, but no more
A                        G
Cause now you're gonna show em what
the night is really for
And leave your heart out on the dance floor

Chorus:
Em               G
Put your hands up, it's all right
D                   A
Saying "oh ho oh oh", until the sunrise
Em                   G
And if you can't sleep, do it all night
D                    A                         Em
Saying "oh ho oh oh", and don't you ever fade away

Your life is full
Of hard days
You try to hold it down
But its more than you can take

Well those flashing lights
They shine down
It's hard as hell to keep your head in this town
So were gonna burn the place down

Chorus:
Put your hands up
It's all right
Singing oh-oh-oh-oh
Until the sun rise
And if you can't sleep
Do it all night
Singing oh-oh-oh-oh
And don't you ever fade away
Don't you ever fade away
Until the sun rise

Bm
Singing oh-oh-oh-oh
D
Singing oh-oh-oh
A
Singing oh-oh-oh-oh
G
Singing oh-oh-oh

Singing oh-oh-oh-oh
Singing oh-oh-oh
Singing oh-oh-oh-oh
Until the sun rise

Chorus:
Put your hands up
It's all right
Singing oh-oh-oh-oh
Until the sun rise
And if you can't sleep
Do it all night
Singing oh-oh-oh-oh
And don't you ever fade away
Don't you ever fade away
And don't you ever fade away

And put your hands up
Better put your hands up
Gonna put your hands up
Don't you ever fade away
Gonna put your hands up
Gonna put your hands up
Until the sun rise
