[Intro] G  Em

G                              C                   G
She's been thinkin' life ain't givin' her what she needs
                          C                    Em
What could make her happy is always out of her reach
                 G    
Yeah, somebody's gotta help me
G                          C                 G
But she could not see that everything she wanted
                         C                        Em
Was inside of her heart, but she wouldn't give it away
        C                G
No, she wouldn't give it away

G
We don't need no mournful sound
G
Shake your graveclothes to the ground
Em
Shake your graveclothes off, shake your graveclothes
Em
Shake your graveclothes off, shake your graveclothes
G
Thoughts you're thinkin' make you feel like you're dead
G
But you can grow a garden out the top of your head
Em
Shake your graveclothes off, shake your graveclothes
Em                                                    G
Shake your graveclothes off, shake your graveclothes

G
Don't get lost inside your head
G
Don't get lost inside your head
Em
Don't get lost inside your head
Em
Don't get lost inside your head

G                            C                      G
He's been wishin' he was the best and the brightest
                                  C                   Em
Scared to give what he's got, no, he wouldn't give it away
    C                   G
No, he wouldn't give it away

G                                     C            G
Self-deprecation, lack of motivation, stealing his aliveness
G                                                      Em
In the silence love abounds and has already filled the spaces
                                                      C        C7
And replaces them with grace if he would only stop to feel, to see

G    
We don't need no mournful sound
G
Shake your graveclothes to the ground
Em
Shake your graveclothes off, shake your graveclothes
Em
Shake your graveclothes off, shake your graveclothes
G
Thoughts you're thinkin' make you feel like you're dead
G
But you can grow a garden out the top of your head
C
Shake your graveclothes off, shake your graveclothes
C
Shake your graveclothes off, shake your graveclothes
C
Shake your graveclothes off, shake your graveclothes
C
Shake your graveclothes off, shake your graveclothes
