Shake And Pine

C G Am   C G Am


[Verse 1]
          C       G   Am
So you've gone astray in a New York minute
        C         G Am
Nothing left to say or ways to spin it
            C          G    Am
You've just gone too far, unsafe within it
         C       G       Am
All spun out and swept away


[Verse 2]
         C        G    Am
You were here one day, gone by sunset
        C           G  Am
You set out that way,  lest, we soon forget
C            G        Am                     C      G      Am
Blood on the sawdust, light coming in from a broken window pane


[Chorus]
  Em        D
I shake and pine
    C             G             Am         G
You didn't really mean to do me wrong this time
        C        G           Em       D
Make it up as we go along to fake and find
  C            G          Em          D       C
A reason and a rhyme, the strength to carry on


[Interlude]
C  G Am   C G Am


[Verse 3]
          C        G    Am
Seems the more you know the less you like it
        C         G       Am
Til you ache to go and strikе out on your own
C          G           Am
Movement becomеs you until you become
     C            G         Am
So removed by the hands you show


[Verse 4]
          C      G
Seems the more I know
    Am                               C           G
The less I have the answers to these things I sow
            Am                         C          G
That eat me like a cancer till there's nothing left
    Am                         C      G         Am
For you to grab ahold of til I spiral out of control


[Chorus]
    Em        D
You shake and pine
      C               G              Am         G
For a way out of this hell besides a life of crime
C               G                 Em    D
Standing before judgment, it'd be so sublime
   C                G          Em     D            C
To step out of your shadow and walk towards the sun


[Bridge]
C            G
We shake and pine
       Em          D              C       G
Look inside for an answer to this nursery rhyme
       Em     D          C           G    C           G
Like a ballet dancer, we leap in the air, lost in the footlights
C           G                  Em  D
Lost in the footlights and the fog
C           G                  Em  D C
Lost in the footlights and the fog


[Interlude]
C G Em D C G
Em D C G C G
Em D C
C G Am   C G Am Em


[Outro]
C       G     D        Em          C        G
Got the hang, all your missing, Alabama claw
 D                  Em            C       G
Above the bangs and lashes and we saw it all
D                Em             D            C
Reaching for the stars but only catching dust
