                F           Bb 
Mad sounds in your ears 
 F            Bb 
make you feel alright 
Gm          A     Dm      Gm 
They'll bring you back to life 
F              Bb

 Gm                             C                       Gm 
You sit and try sometimes but you just can't figure out what went wrong 
   C                                    F 
Then outta nowhere somebody comes and hits you with an 
 
F  Bb 
Ooh, la la la 
Ooh, la la la 
Ooh, la la la, ooh

Ooh, la la la 
Ooh, la la la, ooh 
 
( F  Bb ) 
 
You got those mad sounds in your ears 
They make you get up and dance 
Mad sounds in your ears 
They make you get up and dance 
Don't they make you get up 
Don't they make you get up
