C                       Am
 She looked at me with fire in her eyes
 C                        Am
Looks can't kill but she certainly tries
      F
And try as she might
          Dm
I'm gonna be alright
  F         G       C
Shakin' it loose tonight

She said "Honey, forget me quick"
Another fool another Hollywood trick
Movin' on a red light
But I'm gonna be alright
Shakin' it loose tonight

Chorus:
  F            Dm                C
Shake, shake, shakin'it loose tonight
  F            Dm                C
Shake, shake, shakin'it loose tonight
           Dm
I'm gonna make it
  F        G       C
Shakin it loose tonight

I got to go there's someone on the phone
Knock on my door but there's nobody home
I turned out the light
'Cause I'm gonna be alright
Shakin' it loose tonight

Chorus

Shake it loose

Chorus

           Dm

Shakin' it loose tonight
  F         G       C
Shakin' it loose tonight
