A A A    A 

verse 1 
A                D 
What cha doin' tonight? 
A                             G            C 
Well, have you heard that the world's gone crazy? 
A               F#m           E 
Young Americans listen when I say: 
A                         D 
There's people puttin' us down, 
A                          G          C 
I know they're sayin' that we've gone lazy, 
D               F#m                   E 
To tell you the truth, we've all seen better days. 

Bridge 
              C#         D          E           A 
Don't need no fast buck, lame duck, profits for fun, 
C#          D               E         A 
Quick trick plans, take the money and run, 
        C#         D          E          A 
We need long term, slow burn, gettin' it done, 
         G                 D            A 
And some straight talkin', hard rockin' son of a gun. 

verse 2 
                    D 
So what cha doin' tonight? 
A                  G   C 
I got faith in our generation. 
A                        F#m          E 
Let's stick together and futurize our attitudes. 
A                  D 
I ain't lookin' to fight, 
A                 G    C 
But I know with determination, 
D                    F#m                E 
We can challenge the schemers who cheat all the rules. 

Bridge 
          C#          D       E            A 
C’mon and take pride, be wise spottin' the fools, 
C#         D         E           A 
Big shots, crackpots bendin' the rules, 
  C#        D        E          A 
A fair shot here for me and for you, 
F            C        D 
Knowin' that we can't lose. 

A G And we'll be rockin' in paradise, A C Rockin' the paradise tonight, A G Rockin' in paradise, A C Rockin' the paradise tonight, F A Tonight, tonight.
