[Intro]
C  Am C  Am C  Am C
 
[Verse 1]
Am     C              Am    C
Music has charms they say
Am          Gm7
But in some people's hands
Fm7      Dbmaj7   Fm7  Dbmaj7     Ab
It        becomes a savage beast
           Ab/Bb     Bb
Can't they control it
Ab        Ab/Bb  Bb    C
Why don't they hold it back
 
[Verse 2]
    Am  C             Am    C
You see my friend and me
Am            Gm7
Don't have an easy day
Fm7   Dbmaj7 Fm7         Dbmaj7     Ab
And at night we dance not fight
        Ab/Bb     Bb
We need the energy
Ab     Ab/Bb  Bb
If not the sympathy
 
[Bridge]
Eb      Fm7
But I'm brutalized by bass
Eb/G           Fm7/Ab
And terrorized by treble
Eb          Fm7
I'm open to change my mood but
Eb/G         Fm7/Ab
I always get caught in the middle
 
[Chorus]
Dm7                Gm7
And I get tired of DJ's
Dm7                   Gm7
Why is it always what he plays
Dm7
I'm gonna push right through
Gm7
I'm gonna tell him too
Dm7
Tell him to play us
          C    Am    Fm7 Bb9 Ab
Play us a slow song
          C    Am    Fm7 Bb9 Ab
Play us a slow song
          C    Am    Fm7 Bb9 Ab
Play us a slow song
          C    Am    Fm7 Bb9 Ab
Play us a slow song
 
[Verse 3]
Am       C        Am       C
It's late- I'm winding down
Am         Gm7
Am I the only one
Fm7      Dbmaj7    Fm7    Dbmaj7      Ab
To want a strong and silent sound
       Ab/Bb     Bb
To pick me up and undress me
Ab     Bb       C
Lay me down and caress me
 
[Verse 4]
Am       C        Am       C
I feel your touch my hand
Am         Gm7
And whisper in my ear
Fm7      Dbmaj7    Fm7    Dbmaj7      Ab
Ask me how I'm feeling now
       Ab/Bb     Bb
And I want to get near you
Ab             Ab/Bb   Bb
But I can't even hear you
 
[Bridge 2]
Eb         Fm7
But this is a fine romance
Eb/G                Fm7/Ab
If we have to be so demanding
Eb                  Fm7
We need just one more dance to
Eb/G                     Fm7/Ab
Leave here with an understanding
 
[Chorus]
Dm7       Gm7
And I get tired of DJ's
Dm7       Gm7
Why is it always what he plays
Dm7
I'm gonna push right through
Gm7
I'm gonna tell him too
Dm7
Tell him to play us
          C    Am    Fm7 Bb9 Ab
Play us a slow song
          C    Am    Fm7 Bb9 Ab
Play us a slow song
          C    Am    Fm7 Bb9 Ab
Play us a slow song
          C    Am    Fm7 Bb9 Ab
Play us a slow song

Missing chords for the chorus, as far as I can tell.

Great job picking out those minor 7ths. I tried something different in the choruses. Dm7. G7 I get tired of. DJs Dm7. Gsus7 - G7 ..........................he plays Dm7. G7. G7/A. G7/B. C. Am Play us............play. Us. A. SLOW SOOOOOO—-AH-UH-NNNNGGG !1111111

NICELY done! JJ's stuff is so much fun to play (and can be difficult to transcribe too!) Kudos too, to Pianohack... I wanted to check to see if I was the only one hearing those G7s in the chorus :-) Thanks again
