Shake A Heartache

A  E  F#m  D

[Verse 1]
A                              E
If truth be told, you know I'm too 
tired to lie
       F#m                    D
When I think about us, I just sit 
back and sigh
     A                           E
What used to be, you and me, and who
 we are now
           F#m                 D
And how it got to this, I just don't
 know how
     A                           E
Half-full or half-empty, there's no 
way of knowing
    F#m                    D
But once upon a time, that cup was 
overflowing
        A                          
Girl, I need a shot of love like a 
E
drunk needs whiskey
     F#m                        
It's now or never, baby, are you 
 D
gone or you with me?

[Chorus]
     E                             
Ooh, shake a heartache and give my 
F#m
love what it's needing
D                             A
Shake a heartache, find a way to 
stop the bleeding
E                        F#m
Shake a heartache, gonna shake it 
real slow
  D   N.C.
Until there's nothing shaking but 
the radio
        E           F#m
Singing yeah, yeah, yeah
            D                      
So long overdue, lose the blues, 
         A
you better hold on real tight
E           F#m
Yeah, yeah, yeah
            D    N.C.
We're gonna make the earth quake and
 shake a heartache tonight

[Verse 2]
       A                       E
Like a rock-your-socks jukebox kind 
of romancing
     F#m                           
Your mama never let you watch that 
D
movie "Dirty Dancing"

        A                          
We were cut-a-rugging, 
  E
jitterbugging just like Swayze
      F#m    N.C.
Gonna be-bop-a-loo-bop, be-bop ya 
crazy
        A                        
We were doing all the things that 
      E
they said we shouldn't do
        F#m                        
We were singing with the stars, we 
     D
were howling at the moon
             A                     
I miss those midnight rides in the 
E
back of my truck
        N.C.
Tank is sittin' on E, it's time we 
fill it back up

[Chorus]
     E                             
Ooh, shake a heartache and give my 
F#m
love what it's needing
D                             A
Shake a heartache, find a way to 
stop the bleeding
E                        F#m
Shake a heartache, gonna shake it 
real slow
  D   N.C.
Until there's nothing shaking but 
the radio
        E           F#m
Singing yeah, yeah, yeah
            D                      
So long overdue, lose the blues, 
         A

[Bridge]
E                                 
  I'll take you home and taste 
  F#m
your sweet red lips
      D                 
Gonna shake a heartache, 
        A
shimmy-shaking those hips
 E                           F#m
Rocking and a-rolling to the rhythm 
of the beats
      D     N.C.
Gonna shake a heartache underneath 
the sheets
        E           F#m
Singing yeah, yeah, yeah
            D                      
So long overdue, lose the blues, 
         A
you better hold on real tight

E                              
Shake a heartache, we're gonna shake
F#m
