verse 1: Intro: Cadd9 G Em D  Cadd9 G Em D   Cadd9 
           G 
So we're trying to play our cards right 
 Em          D                         Cadd9  
But I ain't ever liked playing by the rules 
          G                             Em  
I should probably take you home, right 
             D                Cadd9  
But I don't know about you 
        G  
Baby I got a little wild side, 
 Em                  D  
 I think you got a wild side too  
 Bm  
I don't wanna say goodnight 
 G                  D  
I wanna howl at the moon 
 
 
 
                  Cadd9  
Let's do want the night wants 
          G                  Em                  D  
Shut the lights off, let the moonlight lead the way 
             Cadd9                   G  
Stay off the main roads, crank the radio 
                Em                  D  
And let it play all our cares away 
 Cadd9                   G  
And if you want, I can take you home 
             Bm  
But if you don't wanna be alone 
                    G        D  
Let's do what the night wants 
 
 
 Cadd9  G  Em  D   Cadd9  
 
 
verse 2: 
     G                             Em  
Baby girl I know you're curious 
       D                                Cadd9  
So I might as well get it out the way 
           G                          Em  
I ain't trying to seal no deal girl 
         D                             Cadd9  
I know you'll make it worth the wait 
                G  
And I want to know you a little more 
 Em                    D  
 I think you want to know more too  
 Bm  
I could walk to your front door 
 G                     D  
We could howl at the moon 
 
 
 
                  Cadd9  
Let's do want the night wants 
          G                  Em                  D  
Shut the lights off, let the moonlight lead the way 
             Cadd9                   G  
Stay off the main roads, crank the radio 
                Em                  D  
And let it play all our cares away 
 Cadd9                   G  
And if you want, I can take you home 
             Bm  
But if you don't wanna be alone 
                    G        D  
Let's do what the night wants

Bridge: 
         Cadd9            G  
We could look up in the morning 
           Em                D  
Shooting birds up at the sunrise 
          Cadd9               G  
Yeah, but right now in this moment 
              D  or  Bm  
Let's let it ride 
                Cadd9        G  
And do what the night wants 
               Em                   D  
*Laughs* hell yeah, what you say baby)  
 
 
 
                  Cadd9  
Let's do want the night wants 
          G                  Em                  D  
Shut the lights off, let the moonlight lead the way 
             Cadd9                   G  
Stay off the main roads, crank the radio 
                Em                  D  
And let it play all our cares away 
 Cadd9                   G  
And if you want, I can take you home 
             Bm  
But if you don't wanna be alone 
                    G        D  
Let's do what the night wants
