[Verse 1]
  A                B               E
I hear you talking when I'm on the street,
     A                    B             E
Your mouth don't move but I can hear you speak.

[Pre-chorus]
A                                A
  What's the matter with the boy?  He don't come around no more.
B
  Is he checking out for sure? 
B                               A   E
  Is he gonna close the door on me?

[Verse 2]
    A              B             E
I'm always hearing voices on the street,
  A                  B              E
I want to shout, but I can't hardly speak.

[Pre-chorus]
A                              A
  I was making love last night,  to a dancer friend of mine.
B                                          B
  I can't seem to stay in step, 'cause she come every time
                         A  E
that she pirouettes over me.

[Chorus]
      B
And I only get my rocks off while I'm dreaming.
                                  A    E
I only get my rocks off while I'm sleepin'.

[Verse 3]
    A                   B                 E
I'm zipping through the days at lightnin' speed.
     A                 B                E
Plug in, flush out and fire the fuckin' need.

[Pre-chorus]
A                          A
  Headin' for the overload,  splattered on the dirty road.
B
  Kick me like you've kicked before,
B                               A     E
  I can't even feel the pain no more.

[Chorus]
      B
And I only get my rocks off while I'm dreaming.
                                  A    E
I only get my rocks off while I'm sleepin'.

[Bridge]
F#/A#                     F#             C#m
      Feel so hypnotized,    can't describe the scene.
F#/A#                      F#              C#m      B
      It's all mesmerized,    all that inside me.

[Verse 4]
    A                  B                E
The sunshine bores the daylights out of me.
A                B              E
Chasing shadows, moonlight mystery.

[Pre-chorus]
A                          A
  Headin' for the overload,  splattered on the dirty road.
B
  Kick me like you've kicked before,
B                               A     E
  I can't even feel the pain no more.

[Chorus]
      B
And I only get my rocks off while I'm dreamin'.
                                  A    E
I only get my rocks off while I'm sleepin'.

      B
And I only get my rocks off while I'm dreamin'.
                                  A    E
I only get my rocks off while I'm sleepin'.

[Outro]
      B
And I only get my socks off while I'm sleepin'.
                                                     A    E
(Only get them off, get them off. Only get them off)
