[C] The fool [F] screams no more.
[C]
He grabs a shirt and hits the door.
[C]
What she needs from him [F] he ignores.
[C]
It's a borrow, it's a [F] borrow, [C]
[Bb] it's a blast the radio.
[Ab] [Eb] The hits just [Db] come and go.
Blackout [Cm] but he knows that he [Bb] has blown.
That he [F] has blown.
[C] [F] Hangs the bed, [C]
as the fool [Em] crawls [F] into bed.
[C]
[Em] Still his hungry [F] heart begs to be [C] fed.
All the weird shame points back, [F] back, she said, [C] back, she said.
So then he grabs his [Eb] Chevrolet in one [Ab] more attempt to get away.
The thoughts [Bb] of all the crimes of passion lay, lay [F] in his way.
He can shake [Em] the blues but you know [Am] he still can get [Gm] confused.
[F] Seems like such a waste.
Cause he [C] can't shake her, [Bb] shake her.
[F] He [C] can shake [Em] his tail but you know [Am] his moves are [Gm] getting stale.
He's on the make [F] but for his heart can't fade.
[C] He can't shake her, [G] shake her.

He's on the dance, falls [F] like [C] rain.
All the motifs are [F] [C] insane.
[Em] Every time that he [F] plays a game he [C] feels the pain, he feels the [Em] pain.
Who is to blame, [F] who is to blame, who is to blame?
[Fm] And then he finds a [Bb] joint that's jive.
Guys are [Db] spinning girls [Ab] like 45s.
All [C] of the life waiting for his [Gm] dime.
[G] There's a high, [C] he knows he is beat.
As his heart puts on the heat.
Run [Em] from the street [F] that don't even get [C] his feet, don't get [G] his feet.
Now he can see, [F] now he can really see, now he can [Bb] tell him where's the telephone.
He can beg to [Ebm] let the [Ab] fool come home.
He tells all [C] that his life's a drag [Gm] alone.
Can't [F] be alone.
He can [Em] shake the blues but you know [Am] he still can get [Bb] confused.
Seems [F] like [C] such a [F] waste.
Cause he [C] can't shake her, shake her.
He can [Em] shake his tail but you know [Am] his moves are [Gm] getting stale.
He's on the make but [F] all his heart gets braked.
He can't [C] shake her, shake her.
He can't shake her, shake her.
He can't shake her.
He can't shake her.
Shake [G] her, shake her.

Shake her, [G] shake [C] her.
Shake her, [G] shake her.

Shake her, shake her.
Shake her, shake her.
Shake her, shake her.
