G
And all I see is little dots
Some are smeared and some are spots
D                    F               G
Feels like a murder but that’s alright

Somebody said there's too much light
Pull down the shade and it's alright
It'll be over in a minute or two

Chorus:
E
I’m charged up…Don’t put me down
Don’t feel like talking
Don’t mess around
        C            D
I feel mean I feel O.K.
      E
I’m charged up
Electricity

The boys are making a big mess
This makes the girls start to laugh
I don't know what they're talking about

The boys are worried, the girls are shocked
They pick the sound and let it drop
Nobody knows what they're talking about

I'm charged up, I'm kinda wooden
I'm barely moving, I study motion
I steady myself, I fooled myself
I'm charged up, it's pretty intense

Chorus:
I'm charged up, don't put me down
Don't feel like talking, don't mess around
I feel mean, but I feel okay
I'm charged up, electricity

That's what I call it
Ah-hah
