Guitar chords with lyrics

Intro: Em

Verse 1

Em7
Hey once I was a boogie singer playin' in a rock and roll band
I never had no problems burning down them one night stands
And everything around me got to stop to feelin' so low
And I decided quickly yes I did to disco down and check out the show

Chorus
             D   Em      D   E          D    E      D     E
Yeah they was dancin' and singin' and movin' to the groovin'
     D    Em      D   Em D  Em
And just when it hit me somebody turned around and shouted

Verse 2

I tried to understand this I thought that they were out of their minds
How could I be so foolish how could I to not see I was the one behind
So still I kept on fighting well loosing every step of the way
I said I must go back there I got to go back and check to see if things still the same

Till you die

Verse 3

Em7
Now first it wasn't easy changin' rock and roll and minds
And things were getting shaky I thought I'd have to leave it behind
But now its so much better it's so much better I'm funking out in every way
But I'll never lose that feelin' no I won't of how I learned my lesson that day

Chorus
