Shake It Out

Intro
A
    A                   D
The sun has passed from overhead
        Bm                         
Let the night come in, let the 
                     Dm
night walk through your door
    A                 D
For every sleep spent in our beds
        Bm                       
We will push our feet so hard the 
            E
room will tear
A                             
In the carnival with smiles our 
        D
faces glow
       Bm                        E
Oh the dark can make us feel so bold
           A                       
There’s no cold to make us want to 
        D
stay at home
Bm              E
Every doubt in turn explodes

Chorus:

   A                    Fm
We all could pass right through
   Bm                        Dm
We all have nothing left to lose

Verse 2:

     A                 D
It’s not the fire, nor the warm 
drink
     Bm                         
That heats my heart and lifts my 
        Dm
happy legs

A                    D
Your strong hand has kept me here
     Bm                            
No I will not go, no I will not say
      E
 goodnight
       A                           
I was told this town’s so small it 
          D
would not grow
      Bm                         
I was told that here I would feel 
  E
alone
           A                       
There’s no cold, nor snow to make 
           D
us lose our souls
Bm                  E
Light we shine and once we fall

Chorus:

       A                    Fm
And we all could pass right through
   Bm                        Dm
We all have nothing left to lose
   A                    Fm
We hold the best nights true
     Bm                         
With all there’s nothing left to 
  Dm
lose

E                     Fm          
We’re all alive as we tumble over 
E
hours
                    Fm          
We pull our hand in close so our 
       Bm
faces blur
There’s nothing we have left we 
       Dm
cannot try
                      A
So come on baby let’s dance
                 Fm
Put your body in motion
                     Bm
I don’t want this to end
                Dm
I don’t want to climb those stairs 
and go to bed
         A
So let’s dance
(Won’t you please just try?)
                 Fm
Put your body in motion
(To dance with me tonight)
                     Bm
I don’t want this to end
(To dance with me tonight)
              Dm
Don’t want to climb the stairs and 
go to bed
         A
So let’s dance
(So slide your left foot in and keep
 your right foot out)
                 Fm
Put your body in motion
(Turn your hips to the left, swing 
it all
the way around)
                   Bm
Don’t want this to end
(Bob your head back and forth side 
to side)
              Dm
Don’t want to climb the stairs and 
go to bed
(Bob your head, shake it out)
