Verse1:                                                                       

(with 1.Riff but without 2.Part of it)                                          


              B5     G5                      B5    G5

You can reach              but you can't grab it

          B5               G5                B5       G5

You can hold it control it        You can't bag it 

          B5    G5                      B5        G5               

You can push          But you can't direct it                                   

      B5                 G5                   B5       G5                   

Circulate, regulate oh no       You cannot connect it                           



Pre-Chorus:


    B5                       G5

You know you 're chewing bubblegum

       B5                       G5

You know what that is but you still want some

       B5              G5          B5            G5

You just can't get enough of that lovie dovie stuff


2.Riff:

e----------------------------------------------|
B----------------------------------------------|
G----------------------------------------------|  reapeat twice
D----------------------------------------------|
A---5---------7---------5----------------------|
E-----7-5-7-----7-5-7-----7-5-7--x-x-5-7-5-----|


Verse2:

(with 2.Riff)

           B5        G5              B5          G5         

You get confused           but you know it

             B5                        G5

Yeah, you hurt for it, work for it  love

                    B5         G5

You don't always show it



Chorus:


B5                G5

Let go (Let go)oh oh yeah          

B5            G5    

Discotheque    ah    ah 
                                I'm not sure about this part
B5            G5                     

Go go let go oh yeah

B5                 G5

Discotheque



Bridge:

D5      D/C#      E5

Looking for the one

D5      D/C#           E5

 But you know you 're somewhere else instead

D5      D/C#        E5

You want to be the song

    D5       D/C#        E5

The song you hear in your head



In this part I usually pick trough the Bm and E chords.
I'll try to figure out how it's done on the CD in the next time.


After this part the 2.Riff is played again. (with heavy fuzz)


Verse3:

            B5      G5           B5         G5

It's no trick        you can't learn it

          B5                      G5

It's the way you don't play, that's okay,

                  B5          G5

'cause you can't earn it


Then the Pre-Chorus again:


    B5                       G5

You know you 're chewing bubblegum

       B5                       G5

You know what that is but you still want some

       B5              G5          B5            G5

You just can't get enough of that lovie dovie stuff


Chorus:


B5                G5

Let go (Let go)oh oh yeah           
B5            G5    

Discotheque    ah    ah 

B5            G5

Go go let go oh yeah

B5                 G5

Discotheque


Bridge:

D5      D/C#      E5

Looking for the one

D5      D/C#           E5

 But you know you 're somewhere else instead

D5      D/C#        E5

You want to be the song

    D5       D/C#        E5

The song you hear in your head


Now again the Bm and E stuff.


When I play the song I never use the same ending as on
the CD because I think it sounds not very good and I also
have no idea how I should play it with my guitar. I normally
let it fade out on Bm and E. You must try what kind of
ending is the best one for you.

Have fun
