Joss Whedon
Tempo : 110 bpm
Key : Gm
{Intro}
|4/4 Gm6 |Dm/F |Bb |C7 |Gm6 |Dm/F Am7|Am7 |D7
|Gm6 |Dm/F
SWEET:Why'd you run away?
|Bb |C7
Don't you like my... style?
|Gm6 |F
Why don't you come and play?
|Bb Bb/F |D7
I guarantee a great big smile.
|Am7sus4 Am7b5 |D7
I come from the imagination
|Eb7
And I'm here strictly by
|Eb7
your invocation.
|Gm
So what do you say-
|C7 |Gm F Gm|Gm
Why don't we dance a while?
|Gm
I'm the how to swing.
|F |Bb |(C7#9)
I'm the twist and shout.
|Gm
When you gotta sing,
|F |Bb |D7
When you gotta let it out.
|Am7b5 |D9
You call me and I come a-runnin'.
|Eb7 |Eb7
I turn the music on, I bring the fun in.
|Gm |C7 |Gm F Gm|Gm

<DAWN:So you're like a good demon? Bringing the fun in?>
|(Gm) |Dm/F |Bb |Dsus4
SWEET:All these melodies, they go on too long.
|Gm |F |Bb |D7
Then that energy starts to come on way too strong.
|Am7b5 |D7
All those hearts lay open- that must sting.
|Eb7 |Eb7
Plus some customers just start combusting.
<Sweet opens the door and a charred and smoking corpse falls
through. Dawn recoils in horror.>
|Gm |C7 |Gm F Gm|Gm
That's the penalty when life is but a song.
|Ab7 |Gm7sus4
You brought me down into this town
|Cm7 |Bb
So when we blow this scene,
|Ab7 |Gm7sus4
Back we will go to my kingdom below
|F7 |D7
And you will be my queen.
