[Verse 1]
D           A/C#         Bm    
  I've been watching you waltz 
G         D/F#
all night Diane
G          D/F#           Bm    
  Nobody's found a way behind 
      A
your defenses
D            A/C#       Bm  G   
  They never notice the zap gun 
   D/F#
in your hand
G               D/F#        
  Until you're pointing it and 
     Em            D/F#
stunning their senses

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

[Verse 2]
D                A/C#         Bm 
  You say you're looking for 
  G      D/F#
some- one solid here
G              D/F#              
  You can't be bothered with 
    Bm           A
those "just for the night" boys
D           A/C#          Bm   
  Tonight unless you take some 
G               D/F#
kind of chances dear
G           D/F#               
  Tomorrow morning you'll wake 
Em          D/F#
up with the white noise

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

  You're only standing there 
     Bm       A
'cause somebody once did
 Bm     A     G         D/F#   Em
 some - body  wrong
(All    night long, all night long)
               G               A

But you'll be sleeping with the 
television on

D/G  G
Your eyes are saying talk to me, 
(talk to me) but your attitude is
                                 
(talk to me)
    A/B   Bm   A/B   Bm
don't waste my time
     (talk to me, talk to me)
                     D/G   G      
Your eyes are saying talk to me,  
        D/G   G
But you won't hear a word
                                    
     (talk  to   me)
           Bm/A          A

[Verse 3]
D            A/C#     Bm  G     
  This isn't easy for me  to say
 D/F#
 Diane
G            D/F#           Bm  
  I know you don't need 
      A
anybody's protection
D          A/C#       Bm   G   
  I really wish I was less of a
         D/F#
 thinking man
G            D/F#             Em
  And more a fool who's not 
         D/F#
afraid of rejection

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

'cause somebody might do
Bm    A     G         D/F#   Em
somebody    wrong
(All  night long, all night long)
             G
