Chorus:
G
Talk is cheap, shut up and dance
Don't get deep, shut up and dance

 Em       D      G
Love has got me down
play riff twice
    Em       D        G
A tear just hit the ground
       Em
So I started writing you this song
         D
But the words came out all wrong
 C               Em
Yeah, but it's alright

Chorus:
G
Talk is cheap, shut up and dance
Don't get deep, shut up and dance

When you can't define a-the crime
A-then life ain't worth a dime
When they take away everything you got
And they rub your nose in the funky spot
Not without a fight

Chorus

          D
When you work your fingers to the bone
                              G  C
Now what does that get you - nothing
D
In a crowd of people
You're still alone
                         G    C
You hope that tells you something
D
The road to heaven is paved in hell
And it makes you wonder
C                 Em
Why we're here at all

E
Check out the shape of your circumstance
He wears the dress and she wears the pants
Here comes Jill and she needs romance
But you can't do jack so shut up and dance!

Sex is like a gun
You aim, you shoot, you run
When you're splittin' hairs with Mr. Clean
It's like gettin' head from a guillotine
And the night has just begun
