A                 D A                   D A                 D A
Been working so hard , keep punching my card, eight hours, for what? 
                    D                                               A
Oh, tell me what i got...i got this feelin that times just a holdin me down
D               D#  Dm                           E F# G G#
I'll hit the ceiling...or else i'll tear up this town

Tonight i gotta cut 

A      D A
Loose, footloose 
D                    A
Kick off your sunday shoes 
      D A
Please, louise 
D             A
Pull me offa my knees 
    D A
Jack, get back 
D              A

    D A
Lose your blues

You're playing so cool, obeying every rule, dig way down in your heart 
                          D
You're yearning, burning for some, somebody to tell you
                       A
That life ain't passing you by 
D               D#  Dm                           E F# G G#
I'm trying to tell you, it will if you don't even try 

You can fly if you'd only cut 

A      D A
Loose, footloose 
D                    A
Kick off your sunday shoes 
      D A
Please, louise 
D             A
Pull me offa my knees 
    D A
Jack, get back 
D              A
C'mon before we crack 
    D A
Lose your blues 
G       D       A
Everybody cut footloose
