[Cmaj9] [Fmaj9]
The fool screams, 'no more!'
[Cmaj9] [Fmaj9]
He grabs his shirt and hits the door
[Cmaj9] [Fmaj9]
What she needs from him he ig nores.
[Cmaj9] [Fmaj9]
It's a bore. Oh it's a bore. Oh it's a bore. Oh it's a bore.
[Abmaj7/Bb] [Ebmaj9]
Oh it's a blast the radi o.
[Gbmaj7/Ab] [Dbmaj9]
The hits just come and go.
[Abmaj7/Bb] [Ebmaj9]

[G11]
That he has blo -o -oown
verse 2
[Cmaj9] [Fmaj9]
The night hangs it's head
[Cmaj9] [Fmaj9]
As the fool crawls into bed.
[Cmaj9] [Fmaj9]
Still his hungry heart begs to be fed
[Cmaj9]
All the words she once said
[Fmaj9]
That she said. That she said. That she said.
[Abmaj7/Bb] [Ebmaj9]
So then he grabs his Chevro let
[Gbmaj7/Ab] [Dbmaj9]
In one more at tempt to get a way
[Abmaj7/Bb] [Ebmaj9]
But the thoughts of all the crimes of passion lay
[G11]
lay in his waaaaaaay.
chorus
[Fmaj9] [E7+9]
He can shake the blues,
[Am7] [Gm7]
But you know he still can get con fused.
[Fmaj9] [G11]
It seems like such a waste
[Cmaj9]
'Cause he can't shake her.
[C11]
Shake her
Chorus
[Fmaj9] [E7+9]
He can shake his tail,
[Am7] [Gm7]
But you know his moves are getting stale
[Fmaj9] [G11]
He's on the make, but oh, his heart can't fake
[Cmaj9] [G11] [Cmaj9] [G11]
That he can't shake her, Shake her. He can't shake her. Shake her.
[Cmaj9] [G11] [Cmaj9] [G11]
Shake her. sa bid da do da dib a doob a deb a do ba doo ba oom

[Cmaj9] [Fmaj9]
Ro mance falls like rain
[Cmaj9] [Fmaj9]
But all the motives are in sane
[Cmaj9] [Fmaj9]
Everytime that he plays the game he feels the pain
[Cmaj9] [Fmaj9]
(He feels the pain. Who is to blame? Who is to blame?)
[Abmaj7/Bb] [Ebmaj9]
He finds a joint that's jive
[Gbmaj7/Ab] [Dbmaj9]
Guys are spinning girls like forty five's
[Abmaj7/Bb] [Ebmaj9] [G11]
All of the live bait sink for his lines they are so hi -i -iiiigh
[Cmaj9] [Fmaj9]
He knows he is beat
[Cmaj9] [Fmaj9]
As his heart puts on the heat
[Cmaj9] [Fmaj9]
Ruuun from the street that don't even fit his feet
[Cmaj9] [Fmaj9]
(Don't fit his feet. Now he can see. Now he can really see)
[Abmaj7/Bb] [Ebmaj9]
Tell him here's a tele phone
[Gbmaj7/Ab] [Dbmaj9]
He can beg to let the fool come home
[Abmaj7/Bb] [Ebmaj9]
He tells her that his life's a drag a lone
[G11]
Can't be a lo -o one
[Fmaj9] [E7+9]
He can shake the blues,
[Am7] [Gm7]
But you know he still can get con fused.
[Fmaj9] [G11]
It seems like such a waste
[Cmaj9]
'Cause he can't shake her.
[C11]
Noooooo
[Fmaj9] [E7+9]
He can shake his tail,
[Am7] [Gm7]
But you know his moves are getting stale
[Fmaj9] [G11]
He's on the make, but oh, his heart can't fake
[Cmaj9] [G11] [Cmaj9] [G11]
That he can't shake her, Shake her. He can't shake her. Shake her.
