When he [(Em7)]walks in her room, he feels confused, like he walked into a play,
And the [(Em7)]music's so loud, it spins him around, till his soul has lost it's way,
Em F#m G(type2)
And as she turns the volume down,
G(type2) Ab A
He's getting smaller with the sound,
[C] It seems to pull him off the ground, [D] toward the radio he's bound,
[E]
Never to be found---------!
