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                          E
Girl, I need a shot of love like a drunk needs whiskey
     F#m                         D
It's now or never, baby, are you gone or you with me?

Chorus:
     E                             F#m
Ooh, shake a heartache and give my 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                               A
So long overdue, lose the blues, 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                           D
Your mama never let you watch that movie "Dirty Dancing"
        A                            E
We were cut-a-rugging, jitterbugging just like Swayze
      F#m    N.C.
Gonna be-bop-a-loo-bop, be-bop ya crazy
        A                              E
We were doing all the things that they said we shouldn't do
        F#m                             D
We were singing with the stars, we were howling at the moon
             A                     E
I miss those midnight rides in the back of my truck
        N.C.
Tank is sittin' on E, it's time we fill it back up

Chorus:
     E                             F#m

      D                         A
Gonna shake a heartache, 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
