    A                                     C#m
My baby used to dance underneath my architecture
        A                                       C#m
To the Houses of the Holy, smokin' on them cigarettes
    A                                     C#m
My baby used to dance underneath my architecture
        D                    F#m
He was cool as heck, he was cool as heck

     D                                               A
And we were so obsessed with writing the next best American record
      D                                                         A
That we gave all we had 'til the time we got to bed 'cause we knew we could
 D                                               F#m
We were so obsessed with writing the next best American record
                Bm                     G
'Cause we were just that good, it was just that good

Chorus:
           Bm    A     D                       G
Whatever's on tonight, I just wanna party with you
          Bm     A          D                     G
Topanga's hot tonight, I'm taking off my bathing suit
             Bm   A            D                       G     Bm A
You make me feel like there's something that I never knew I wanted

My baby used to dance underneath my architecture
He was '70s in spirit‚ '90s in his frame of mind
My baby used to dance underneath my architecture
We lost track of space We lost track of time

And we were so obsessed with writing the next best American record
That we gave all we had 'til the time we got to bed
'Cause we knew we could
We were so obsessed with writing the next best American record
’Cause we were just that good It was just that good

Chorus:
           Bm    A     D                        G
Whatever's on tonight, I just wanna party with you
           Bm    A          D                     G
Topanga's hot tonight, I'm taking off my bathing suit
             Bm   A            D                      G      Bm A
You make me feel like there's something that I never knew I wanted
            D                   G       Bm   A
We play the Eagles down in Malibu and I want it

      G                          A
It's you, all the roads lead to you
                       G
Everything I want and do
                      F#
All the things that I say
       G                          A
It's true, all the roads lead to you
                        G
Like the 405 I drive through
                      F#
Every night and every day
    G                            F#
I-I-I see you for who you really are
                      G
Why the thousands of girls love
              F#       G
The way Bill plays guitar

Chorus:
Whatever’s on tonight‚ I just wanna party with you
Topanga's hot tonight, I'm taking off my bathing suit
You make me feel like
There's something that I never knew I wanted
We play the Eagles down in Malibu and I want it
There's something that I never knew I wanted
