      A/C#     Bm  G    D/F#   G
I've been watching you waltz all night Diane
     D        Bm    A       D
Nobody's found a way behind your defenses
      A/C#    Bm G      D/F#   G
They never notice the zap gun in your hand
       D/F#      Em      D/F#
Until you're pointing it and stunning their senses

Bm  A   G    D/F#  Em  G
All night long, all night long
         D/F#           Bm      A  Bm
You'll shoot 'em down because you're waiting for somebody
     A    G
good to come on
Bm  A   G     D/F# Em
All night long, all night long
         G        A     Gmaj7
But you'll be sleeping with the television on

      A/C#     Bm  G    D/F#   G
You say you're looking for someone solid here
        D         Bm    A       D
You can't be bothered with those 'just for the night' boys
      A/C#    Bm G      D/F#   G
Tonight unless you take some kind of chances dear
       D/F#      Em      D/F#
Tomorrow morning you'll wake up with the white noise

Bm  A   G    D/F#  Em  G
All night long, all night long
         D/F#           Bm      A  Bm
You're only standing there 'cause somebody once did

     A    G
somebody wrong
Bm  A   G     D/F# Em
All night long, all night long
        G        A      Bm
But you'll be sleeping with the television on
           D/G  G  D/G  G
Your eyes are saying talk to me, talk to me
               A/B Bm A/B Bm D/G  G
But your attitude is "don't waste my time"
           D/G  G  D/G  G
Your eyes are saying talk to me, talk to me
     D/G  G           Bm/A      A
But you won't hear a word 'cause it just might be the same
  Bm/A    A7
old line

      A/C#     Bm  G    D/F#   G
This isn't easy for me to say Diane
    D         Bm    A       D
I know you don't need anybody's protection
      A/C#    Bm G      D/F#   G
I really wish I was less of a thinking man
       D/F#      Em      D/F#
And more a fool who's not afraid of rejection

Bm  A   G    D/F#  Em  G
All night long, all night long
         D/F#           Bm      A  Bm
I'll just be standing here 'cause I know I don't have the
     A    G
guts to come on
Bm  A   G     D/F# Em
All night long, all night long
        G        A      Bm
And I'll be sleeping with the television on

           D/G  G  D/G  G
Your eyes are saying talk to me, talk to me
                 A/B Bm A/B Bm D/G  G
But my attitude is "boy, don't waste your time"
           D/G  G  D/G  G
Your eyes are saying talk to me, talk to me
     D/G  G           Bm/A      A
But I won't say a word 'cause it just might be somebody
     Bm/A    A7
else's same old line

Instrumental verse

Bm  A   G    D/F#  Em  G
All night long, all night long

We're only standing here 'cause somebody might do somebody
 A    G
wrong
Bm  A   G     D/F# Em
All night long, all night long
        G        A      Gmaj7 A Bm/D
And we'll be sleeping with the television on
         A   Gmaj7
Sleeping with the television on
          A   Bm/D   A  Gmaj7  A Bm/D
Sleeping with the television on

Ooohhhhhhh,   Sleeping with the television on
