C Shake it, shake it, and we're moving again F Been a long time coming for the working man Am So shake it, shake it, and we're moving again G When the money is high, we can start to spend C Shake it, shake it, and we're moving again F Been a long time coming for the working man Am So shake it, shake it, and we're moving again G When the money is high, we can start to spend Shake it C Every little bit goes a little of a long way. F Life gets hard and I'm headed for the highway home, home Am Caught up in the middle of a headache and a heartbreak Just when I thought G I was clear of the mistakes, No, no oh oh C So tell me, tell me, tell me, what am I to do F I think that this life is darker than the view Am So help me, help me, help me, be a little more like you G When everything is falling, I'm gonna do the things you do Chorus Everything is serious and everything is fatal That's what they tell you and that's how they make you Know, know-oh-oh-oh (Know-oh-oh-oh) I'm tired of the books and tired of the tables Everything is made with the same old labels No, no-oh-oh-oh (No-oh-oh-oh) So tell me, tell me, tell me What am I to do? I think that this life is darker than the view So help me, help me, help me Be a little more like you When everything is falling I'm gonna do the things you do Chorus Chorus: Shake it, shake it, and we're moving again Been a long time coming for the working man Shake it, shake it, and we're moving again When the money's high, we can start to spend Shake it, shake it, and we're moving again Been a long time coming for the working man Shake it, shake it, and we're moving again When the money's high, we can start to spend Shake it, shake it, and we're moving again Been a long time coming for the working man Shake it, shake it, and we're moving again When the money's high, we can start to spend Shake it, shake it, and we're moving again Been a long time coming for the working man Shake it, shake it, and we're moving again When the money's high, we can start to spend Shake it You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsAm C F G Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
