Tom: F
F Dm Am
(Shake, shake, shake, whoa-oa-oa)
[Verse 1]
F Dm
Oh, Jessica WJ
Am F
Playing bass riffs, 1998
Dm
She's forever left
Am
In stories told
As Elizabeth, if you had only ever known
[Chorus 1]
F Dm
Jessica, Jessica, Jessica, Jessica WJ
I don't know why I kept
Am
Running, and running, and running, and running, and running away
See I like you but
F Dm
Jessica, Jessica, Jessica I made a mistake
Am
You wrote your number on a letter and I threw it away
(Shake, shake, shake, whoa-oa-oa)
[Verse 2]
F Dm
And babble on the microphone
Am
A scorpion and a scorpio
I'm moonwalking like an Eskimo
Singing oh, oh, oh (yuh!)
F
Surf was down and the surf was up
Dm
Her hair stood like it was lightning struck
Am
I joined an Argentinian boxing club like
Whoa-oa-oa
[Chorus 1]
F Dm
Jessica, Jessica, Jessica, Jessica WJ
I don't know why I kept
Am
Running, and running, and running, and running, and running away
See I like you but
F Dm
Jessica, Jessica, Jessica I made a mistake
Am
You wrote your number on a letter and I threw it away
(Shake, shake, shake, whoa-oa-oa)
[Chorus 2]
F
We're going downtown, baby
That's where we want to go
Dm
I got a map and rolled down the windows
Am
She says "hey," I say "it's beautiful"
(Shake, shake, shake, whoa-oa-oa)
[Chorus 2]
F
We're going downtown, baby
That's where we want to go
Dm
I got a map and rolled down the windows
Am
She says "hey," I say "it's beautiful"
(Shake, shake, shake, whoa-oa-oa)
[Bridge]
Gm
Evil Knievel jumped the fire
Bb
Kept flying higher and higher
Gm Am Bb
A human cannonball
Gm
His cape hung red, white, blue
Bb
Girl cries out "I'm in love with you"
G
Now all that's left is the fall
But the feeling doesn't die
[Chorus 1]
F Dm
Jessica, Jessica, Jessica, Jessica WJ
I don't know why I kept
Am
Running, and running, and running, and running, and running away
See I like you but
F Dm
Jessica, Jessica, Jessica I made a mistake
Am
You wrote your number on a letter and I threw it away
(Shake, shake, shake, whoa-oa-oa)
[Chorus 2]
F
We're going downtown, baby
That's where we want to go
Dm
I got a map and rolled down the windows
Am
She says "hey," I say "it's beautiful"
(Shake, shake, shake, whoa-oa-oa)
[Chorus 2]
F
We're going downtown, baby
That's where we want to go
Dm
I got a map and rolled down the windows
Am
She says "hey," I say "it's beautiful"
(Shake, shake, shake, whoa-oa-oa)
[Outro]
F Dm Am
(Shake, shake, shake, whoa-oa-oa)
