[Verse 1]

Am                            D       Am
 I solve my problems and I'll see the light
         D       Am              Em
We got a  lovin' thing, we gotta feed it right
Dm              C             Bb     Am
 There ain't no danger we can go too far
           D       Am              Em
We start believin' now that we can be who we are
              F        G
Grease is the word    (LICK)


[Verse 2]

Am                             D       Am
 They think our love is just a growin' pain
               D     Am                 Em
Why don't they  understand? It's just a cryin' shame
Dm              C           Bb      Am
 Their lips are lyin', only real is real
            D           Am             Em
We stop the fight right now, we got to be what we feel


[Chorus]

              Am7
Grease is the word
              (Grease is the word, is the word that you heard)
         Dm7
It's got groove, it's got meaning
Am7
Grease is the time, is the place, is the motion
Dm7                      F               G
Grease is the way we are feeling        (LICK)


[Verse 3]

Am                            D      Am
 We take the pressure, and we throw away 
         D  Am              Em
Conventionality, belongs to yesterday
Dm          C                  Bb         Am
 There is a chance that we can make it so far
           D       Am              Em
We start believin' now that we can be who we are 


[Chorus]

              Am7
Grease is the word
              (Grease is the word, is the word that you heard)
         Dm7
It's got groove, it's got meaning
Am7
Grease is the time, is the place, is the motion
Dm7                      F        G
Grease is the way we are feeling      


[Middle 8]

Dm7                  Em7               F
 This is a life of illusion, wrapped up in troubles,
            E                           Am
Laced in confusion, what are we doin' here?     (LICK)


[Verse 4]

Am                            D      Am
 We take the pressure, and we throw away 
         D  Am              Em
Conventionality, belongs to yesterday
Dm          C                  Bb         Am
 There is a chance that we can make it so far
           D       Am              Em
We start believin' now that we can be who we are 


[Chorus]

              Am7
Grease is the word
              (Grease is the word, is the word that you heard)
         Dm7
It's got groove, it's got meaning
Am7
Grease is the time, is the place, is the motion
Dm7                      F          G
Grease is the way we are feeling
