             C
You put the boom-boom into my heart
             Dm                      C
You send my soul sky high when your lovin' starts
 C
Jitterbug into my brain
        Dm                     C
Goes a bang-bang-bang 'til my feet do the same

     Dm
But something's bugging you
 Em
Something ain't right
    F                        Em
My best friend told me what you did last night
 Dm              Em
Left me sleepin' in my bed
F                       G
I was dreaming, but I should have
been with you instead.

Chorus:
        C
Wake me up before you go-go
                Dm                C
Don't leave me hanging on like a yo-yo
        C
Wake me up before you go-go
                 Dm                        C
I don't want to miss it when you hit that high
        C
Wake me up before you go-go
                Dm                C
'Cause I'm not plannin' on going solo
        C
Wake me up before you go-go
Em      Dm         C  F/C C7
Take me dancing tonight
                  C  F/C C7
I wanna hit that high     (yeah, yeah)

You take the grey skies out of my way
You make the sun shine brighter than Doris Day
Turned a bright spark into a flame (Yeah, yeah)
My beats per minute never been the same

'Cause you're my lady, I'm your fool
It makes me crazy when you act so cruel
Come on, baby, let's not fight
We'll go dancing, everything will be all right

Chorus

Dm               Em
Cuddle up, baby, move in tight
 F                 Em
We'll go dancing tomorrow night
     Dm                       Em
It's cold out there, but it's warm in bed
 F               G                    C Dm C
They can dance, we'll stay home instead

Chorus:
Wake me up before you go-go
Don't leave me hanging on like a yo-yo
Wake me up before you go-go
I don't wanna miss it when you hit that high
Wake me up before you go-go
'Cause I'm not plannin' on going solo
Wake me up before you go-go
Take me dancing tonight
Wake me up before you go-go
(Don't you dare, to leave me hanging on like
a yo-yo-yo-yo-yo)
Don't leave me hanging on like a yo-yo
Wake me up before you go-go
(Take me dancing)
I don't wanna miss it when you hit that high
(A boom-boom-boom-boom, oh)
Wake me up before you go-go
'Cause I'm not plannin' on going solo
(A boom-boom-boom-boom, yeah, yeah, yeah!)
Wake me up before you go-go
Take me dancing tonight
Yeah, yeah
