Chorus:
A
I've got the shakes, baby
F#5
The shakes
D                     E
What do you say about me and you
F#5                D
Buy some booze for breakfast soon?
A
I've got the shakes, baby
F#5
The shakes
D                     E
What do you say about me and you
F#5                D
Buy some booze for breakfast soon?
E
Soon!


Verse 1:
A
'Cause I've made my mistakes
F#5
And I've said my laments
D                  E              (A)
And now my girl is moving all her things
F#5        (D)
Out of the apartment


Verse 2:
A
And I got high with you one time
F#5
And then we talked it over
D              F#5
We said living takes too long
                           (D)
And we ain't ever getting sober


Chorus:
A
I've got the shakes, baby
F#5
The shakes
D                     E
What do you say about me and you
F#5                D
Buy some booze for breakfast soon?
A
I got the shakes baby, 
F#5
And they wont go away
D                     E
What do you say about me and you
F#5                    D
We'd waste away in the afternoon?

Bridge:
D                    A
'Cause if there is a God
E                         F#5
There is no more fun to be had
D
And if there was
E                               A
A way that I could get you back!
D                      A
'Cause all the boys in town
E              F#5
They would all agree
D                    E
That if you're going down

You're going down with me!


Chorus:
A
I've got the shakes, baby
F#5
And they won't go away
D                     E
What do you say about me and you
F#5                D
Buy some booze for breakfast soon?
F#5                    D
We'd waste away in the afternoon!
F#5
'Cause who are we kidding?
   E              A
We both ain't got nothing better to do
