G

[Verse 1]
Am
Living on the street tonight's
                  C                G
A lonely place to be all right, oh lord
    Am
The rhythm of the city
                C         G
I don't find it pretty anymore
             D      C
Like I did before
G                 D
You walked out my door

[Chorus]
G
Give me back the beat, give me back the beat
D                C               G
Give me back the only thing that makes my life complete
   G
If you come back to me, I'll be dancing in the street
  D                C               G
I miss the tune we had before that made me tap my feet
             Em                                   A
That used to rock this boy asleep now that you're gone (she's really gone)
C                D                   G
Give me back the beat and let's rock on

[Verse 2]
  Am
I feel the pounding of your heart
                   C                 G
But I'm alone here in the dark, it's true
Am
Alleys filled with misery
                C              G
Shadows of your memories break through
        D     C
I never knew
    G             D
How much I needed you

[Chorus]
G
Give me back the beat, give me back the beat
D                C               G
Give me back the only thing that makes my life complete
   G
If you come back to me, I'll be dancing in the street
  D                C               G
I miss the tune we had before that made me tap my feet
             Em                                   A
That used to rock this boy asleep now that you're gone (she's really gone)
C                D                   G
Give me back the beat and let's rock on (ooh, rock on baby)

[Bridge]
  A#                   C                     G
I won't sleep; baby, I can't eat; I'm in too deep
       A#                       C                     D     C
It's a high fall running into a brick wall all by yourself
    Bm               D
But I know what will help

[Solo]
G   G   D   C   G
G   G   D   C   G
             Em                                   A
That used to rock this boy asleep now that you're gone (now that you're gone)
   C                D
So give me back the beat, you've got to

[Chorus]
G
Give me back the beat, give me back the beat
D                C               G
Give me back the only thing that makes my life complete
   G
If you come back to me, I'll be dancing in the street
  D                C               G
I miss the tune we had before that made me tap my feet
             Em                                   A
That used to rock this boy asleep now that you're gone (she's really gone)
   C                D                   G
So Give me back the beat and let's rock on (ooh, rock on baby)
   C                D                   Em
So give me back the beat and let's rock on (rock on)
C                D   N.C.               G
Give me back the beat....and let's rock on

[Outro]
G
Let's rock on, baby, mmm (ooh, rock on baby)
G

G
Steve's rockin' on, Ringo's rockin' on! (ooh, rock on baby)
G
