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

                 D/F#                     Bm           A    Bm
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  [ch]Bm/D[/ch]
And we'll be sleeping with the television on
