Shake Yer Head
Eraserheads
AM7 D/E
I was born upside down
AM7 D/E
I felt my gramma put my feet on the ground
AM7 D/E
They put a spoon in my mouth
AM7 D/E
And everyone was shocked to hear me shout
A
Well, I knew I couldn't take
E
All the dogfood that they make
A
I'd just as soon as put myself
D
On a stake and burn
Chorus
A E
I saw it comin' around
F#m D
I saw it comin' around, yeah
A E
I saw it comin' around
D Dm pause
And so I just, yeah
A-E-A-E-
Shook my head and walked away (yeah)
AM7 D/E
I grew up in a town
AM7 D/E
Where everybody tried to push me around
AM7
The girls were all right
D/E
But the guys were tough
AM7 D/E
They always bugging me with macho stuff
A
Well, I ain't no stupid fighter
E
I go for flower power
A
I've been running every race
D
Just to save my face
(Repeat Chorus)
F#m D
Well they try to see if you care
E A
It's just a matter of not begging for more
F#m D
You know, it's really similar to just give in
E E7-- break
With people you can never really be sure
AM7
Oh woh, when it gets down to this
D/E
They'll eat you up
AM7
When the words get in your head
D/E
They'll stitch you up
AM7 D/E
It's a saving grace to have enough
AM7 D/E
When you find yourself in a compromising spot
A
You should know you shouldn't take
E
All the dogfood that they make
A
You'd just as soon as put yourself
D
On a stake and burn
A E
You'll see it comin' around
F#m D
You'll see it comin', comin' around
A E
When you see it comin' around
D Dm pause
You just, yeah
A E A E
Shake your head and walk away, yeah, alright
Coda: (A-E-; repeat to fade)
Shake, shake, shake, shake your head
