     Cm             D#
Somebody save your soul
                    G#             Gm
'Cause you've been sinnin' in this city,
   Cm
I know
           D#
Too many troubles
           G#                       A#
All these lovers got you losin' control

You're like a drug to me
A luxury, my sugar and gold
I want the good life
Every good night, you're a hot one to hold

      G#              Gm
Cause you don't even know
Cm               D#       G# Gm
I can make your hands clap
     Cm               D#       G# A#
Said I can make your hands clap

Somebody save your soul
'Cause you've been sinnin' in this city, I know
Too many troubles
All these lovers got you losin' control

You're like a drug to me
A luxury, my sugar and gold
I want your sex and your affection
When they're holdin' you close

'Cause you don't even know
I can make your hands clap
Said I can make your hands clap

       G#                       A#
Every night when the stars come out
         Cm                 Gm
Am I the only living soul around?
           G#                      A#
Need to believe you could hold me down
              Cm                           Gm
Cause I'm in need of something good right now
              G#                          A#
We could be screaming till the sun comes out
             Cm                    Gm
And when we wake we'd be the only sound
           G#                            A#
Get on my knees and say a prayer, James Brown

Chorus:
                               G# A#
Bet I can make your hands clap
Cm   Gm                        G# A#
That I can make your hands clap
Cm   Gm
That I can make your hands clap

My flesh is searchin' for your worst and best
Don't ever deny
I'm like a stranger, gimme danger
All your wrong and your right
Secrets on Broadway to the freeway
You're a keeper of crimes
Fear no conviction
Grapes of wrath can only sweeten your wine

But you don't even know
I can make your hands clap
Said I can make your hands clap

Every night, when the stars come out
Am I the only livin' soul around?
Need to believe you could hold me down
'Cause I'm in need of somethin' good right now
We could be screamin' 'til the sun comes out
And when we wake, we'd be the only sound
Get on my knees and say a prayer, James Brown
That I can make your hands clap

Chorus:
That I can make your hands clap
That I can make your hands clap
(Yeah, oh, yeah)
That I can make your hands clap
(Yeah, oh)
So can I get a handclap?
