Lyrics

Shut up, just shut up, shut up.

Shut up, just shut up, shut up.

Shut up, just shut up, shut up.

Shut it up, just shut up, shut up.

Shut up, just shut up, shut up.

Shut up, just shut up, shut up.

Shut up, just shut up, shut up.

Shut it up, just shut up, shut up.

We (Dm)try to take it slow, but we still los in’ con trol.

And we try to make it work, but it (Bb)still ends up the worse, and I’m (Gm6)cra zy

for try’n’ to be a (A)la dy.

I think I’m go ing cra zy.

(Dm)Girl, me and you is just fine, you know.

We wine and dine, did them things that cou ples do when in love, you know.

(Bb6)Walks on the beach and stuff, (Bb)you know.

(Gm6)Things that lov ers say and do.

I love you, boo.

I love you, too.

I miss you a (A)lot.

I miss you e ven more.

That’s why I flew you out when we were on tour.

But then (D5)some thing got out of hand.

You start yell in’ when I was with friends e ven though I had le git i mate rea sons.

(Bull shit!) You (Bb6)know I have to make them div i dends.

(Bull shit!) (Gm6)How could you trust the pri vate eyes, girl?

That’s why you don’t be lieve my lies and quick to say: Shut up, just shut up, shut up.

Shut it up, just shut up, shut up.

We (Dm)Why does e mo tion got ta move so fast?

Love is prog ress if you could make it last.

Why is it that you just lose con trol (Bb6)ev ’ry time you a gree on tak ing it (Bb)slow?

(So (Gm6)why does it got to be so damn tough?) ’Cause fools in lust could nev er get e nough of (A)love, love, show ing the love that you be giv in’, chang ing up your liv in’ for an oth er tran si tion.

But less sub mis sion try’n’ to get you to lis ten.

“You’re mad at each oth er” has be come our tra di tion.

You yell, I yell, ev ’ry bod y yells.

Got (Bb6)neigh bors a cross the street say in’: (Who the hell?) Who the hell?

What the hell’s go ing down?

Too much of the bick er ing, kill ing with the sound, and… Shut up, just shut up, shut up.

Shut it up, just shut up, shut up.) We (Dm)try to take it slow, but we still los in’ con trol.

And we try to make it work, but it (Bb)still ends up the worse, and I’m (Gm6)cra zy

for try’n’ to be a (A)la dy.

I think I’m go ing cra zy.

Shut up, just shut up, shut up.

Shut up, just shut up, shut up.

Shut up, just shut up, shut up.

Shut it up, just shut up, shut up.

Shut up, just shut up, shut up.

Shut up, just shut up, shut up.

Shut up, just shut up, shut up.

Shut it up, just shut up, shut up.

Girl, our love is dy in’.

Why did you stop try in’?

(I nev er been a quit ter, but I do this for bet ter.) Be lieve me, I will do bet ter.

Let’s for get the past and start this new plan.

(Why?

’Cause it’s the same old rou tine, and then next week I hear them scream.) Girl, I know you’re ti red of the things I say.

(You’re damn right!

’Cause I heard them lame damn ex cus es just (Bb)yes ter day.) That was a dif f’rent thing.

(Gm6)(No, it ain’t!) That was a dif f’rent thing.

(No, it ain’t!) That was a dif f’rent thing.

(It was the same damn thing, same ass ex cus es.

Boy, you’re use less, whoa!)

Shut up, just shut up, shut up.

Shut up, just shut up, shut up.

Shut up, just shut up, shut up.

Shut it up, just shut up, shut up.

Shut up, just shut up, shut up.

Shut up, just shut up, shut up.

Shut up, just shut up, shut up.

Shut it up, just shut up, shut up.
