         Bm  G                Bm    G
You can reach, but you can't grab it
           Bm                G
You can't hold it, control it
          Bm    G
You can't bag it

You can push, but you can't direct it
Circulate, regulate, oh no
You cannot connect it

     Bm                  G
You know you're chewing bubble gum
You know what that is but you still want some
You just can't get enough of that lovey-dovey stuff

You get confused, but you know it
Yeah, you hurt for it, work for it, love
You don't always show it - love

Chorus:
Bm       G         Bm        G
Let go, let's go, discothèque
Go, go, let go, discothèque

D               E
Looking for the one
But you know you're somewhere else instead
You want to be the song
The song that you hear in your head
Love, love, love, love

It's not a trick, you can't learn it
It's the way that you don't pay that's okay
Cause you can't earn it - love

You know you're chewing bubble gum
You know what that is but you still want some
You just can't get enough of that lovey-dovey stuff

Chorus

Looking for the one
But you know you're somewhere else instead
You want to be the song
The song that you hear in your head
Love, love, love

         Bm
But you take what you can get
            E
'Cause it's all that you can find
         G
Oh you know there's something more
But tonight, tonight, tonight
Bm
Boom-cha, boom-cha, discothèque
Boom-cha, boom-cha, discothèque
Boom-cha, boom-cha, discothèque
Bm         G
Boom-cha, boom-cha, discothèque
Boom-cha, boom-cha, discothèque
Boom-cha, boom-cha, discothèque
