[Verse + Riff - Full drums] [E] Hey, once I was a boogie singer
Playin' in a rock-and-roll band

Burnin' down the one-night stands
And everything around me
Got to start to feelin' so low
And I decided quickly
Yes, I did
To disco down and check out the show

And movin' to the groovin'
And just when it hit me
Somebody turned around and shouted
[Chorus G7add9] [G7add9] "Play that funky music, white boy
Play that funky music right
Play that funky music,
[A#7add9] white boy
[A7] Lay down that

At

But then I
[Ebmaj7] spent so many nights, thinking
[Am7b5] how you did me wrong,
And I grew
[Dsus4] strong; and I learned
[D] how to get along.
[Drums back in- Vocals back up an octave]And so you're
[Gm] back, from outer
[Cm] space,
I just walked
[F] in to find you here, with that sad
[Bbmaj7] look upon your face.
I should have
[Ebmaj7] changed that stupid lock,
I should have
[Am7b5] made you leave your key,
If I had
[Dsus4] known for just one second, you'd be
[D] back to bother to me
[Chorus] Go on now,
[Gm] go; walk out the
[Cm] door;
Just turn a
[F] round now, 'cos you're not
[Bbmaj7] welcome any more.
[Ebmaj7] Weren't you the one who tried to
[Am7b5] hurt me with goodbye?
Did you think I'd
[Dsus4] crumble; did you think I'd
[D] lay down and die?
Oh no, not
[Gm] I; I will sur
[Cm] vive,
Oh, as
[F] long as I know how to love, I
[Bbmaj7] know I'll stay alive.
I've got
[Ebmaj7] all my life to live, I've got
[Am7b5] all my love to give,
And I'll sur
[Dsus4] vive, I will sur
