Lyrics

I stay out too (Am)late,

got noth ing in my (C)brain;

that’s what peo ple (G)say, mm, mm.

That’s what peo ple say, mm, mm.

I go on too man y (Am)dates,

but I can’t make ’em (C)stay;

at least, that’s what peo ple (G)say, mm, mm.

That’s what peo ple say, mm, mm.

But I keep (Am)cruis ing; can’t stop, won’t stop (C)mov ing.

It’s like I got this (G)mu sic in my mind say ing, “It’s gon na be al right.” ’Cause the (Am)play ers gon na play, play, play, play, play, and the (C)hat ers gon na hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, ba by.

(G)I’m just gon na shake, shake, shake, shake, shake; I shake it off, I shake it off.

Heart (Am)break ers gon na break, break, break, break, break, and the (C)fak ers gon na fake, fake, fake, fake, fake, ba by.

(G)I’m just gon na shake, shake, shake, shake, shake; I shake it off, I shake it off.

I (Am)shake it off, I shake it off.

I, I, I (C)shake it off, I shake it off.

I, I, I (G)shake it off, I shake it off.

I, I, I shake it off, I shake it off.
