  			                 Am 
 I stay out too late 
                      C 
 Got nothing in my brain 
                      G 
 That's what people say 

 That's what people say 
                   Am 
 I go on too many dates 
                         C 
 But I can't make them stay 
                               G 
 At least that's what people say 

 That's what people say 

              Am 
 But I keep cruising 
                         C 
 Can't stop, won't stop moving 
                       G 
 It's like I got this music 

 In my mind, saying it's gonna be alright 

            Am 
 Cause the players gonna play, play, play, play, play 
          C 
 And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate 
       G 
 Baby I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake 

 Shake it off, shake it off 
           Am 
 The heartbreakers gonna break, break, break, break, break 
          C 
 And the fakers gonna fake, fake, fake, fake 
       G 
 Baby I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake 

 Shake it off, shake it off 

                 Am 
 I never miss a beat 
                      C 
 I'm lightning on my feet 
                             G 
 And that's what they don't see 

 That's what they don't see 
                    Am 
 I'm dancing on my own 
                           C 
 I make the moves up as I go 
                              G 
 And that's what they don't know 

 That's what they don't know 

              Am 
 But I keep cruising 
                          C 
 Can't stop, won't stop grooving 
                       G 
 It's like I got this music 

 In my mind, saying it's gonna be alright 

            Am 
 Cause the players gonna play, play, play, play, play 
          C 
 And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate 
       G 
 Baby I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake 

 Shake it off, shake it off 
           Am 
 The heartbreakers gonna break, break, break, break, break 
          C 
 And the fakers gonna fake, fake, fake, fake
