Here we go then.
Get them lights up!
Yeah!
[F]
I'm shaking my knees and I'm a [C] beast of a man, shaking to and a' [D] that I'm from.
[E] [Bb] People ask me when I [F] got to be a man, but all [C] the girls I loved in [Bb] school are rich and [F] wise.
I loved you then as I love you [C] still, but I put you on a bet he [D] still ain't put you on the [Em] pill.
