Lyrics

Chorus
G em g em
And it shook me, it shook me up, it shook me up, yeah

G c em
I remember the way you looked when we first met
G c em
There are some things in this world you can't forget
G c d d
You were standing underneath the light I lost my heart, it felt all right
G c em
And it shook me, and I'm still shaking now

I remember rainy nights I thought I'd drown
Was it london new york paris or amsterdam
I forget the details no I must admit but you were there through all of it
And it shook me, and I'm still shaking now

Repeat chorus (then) instrumental verse (ends with em / d twice)

Will you hold on and hope our grip don't fail
Sometimes lovers hammer in their own coffin nails
I just read how universes start, continually they blow apart
And it shook me and I'm still shaking now

Some believe in a heaven up above
With a god that forgives all with his great love
Well I forgive you if you forgive me, hey! who needs the third party anyway
And it shook me and I'm still shaking now

Chorus (repeat and fade)
