VERSE 1-
G
Shakin' up is all that we know
F
Usin' our bodies up as we go
G
I'm wakin' up to a fantasy
F
The shades all around aren't the colors we used to see

D|---------2----------0---------2--------------------------------------
A|------3----------2---------0-----------------------------------------
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------
Cadd9 G/B Amin(open)
Broken ice still melts in the sun
F G
And ties that are broken can't often be one again

B|---------------3----------3---------1--------------------------------
G|------------0----------0---------2-----------------------------------
D|---------2----------0---------2--------------------------------------
A|------3----------2---------0-----------------------------------------
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------
Cadd9 G/B Amin(open)
We're soul alone, and soul really matters to me
F
Take a look around

CHORUS 1
F
You're out of touch
Amin(add11)/D G
I'm out of time
Amin G6 Fmaj7 E
But I'm out of my head when you're not around
F
You're out of touch
Amin(add11)/D G
I'm out of time
Amin G Amin G
But I'm out of my head when you're not around
F Amin(add11)/D G Amin

VERSE 2
G
Reachin' out for something to hold
F
Lookin' for a love where the climate is cold
G
Manic moves, and drowsy dreams
F
Or (We're) livin' in the middle between the two extremes

e|---------------3----------3---------0--------------------------------
B|---------------3----------3---------1--------------------------------
G|------------0----------0---------2-----------------------------------
D|---------2----------0---------2--------------------------------------
A|------3----------2---------0-----------------------------------------
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------
Cadd9 G/B Amin(open)
Smokin' guns, hot to the touch
F G
Would cool down if we didn't use 'em so much

e|------------------------------------0--------------------------------
B|------------------------------------1--------------------------------
G|------------0----------0---------2-----------------------------------
D|---------2----------0---------2--------------------------------------
A|------3----------2---------0-----------------------------------------
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------
Cadd9 G/B Amin(open)
We're soul alone, and soul really matters to me
F
Too much

CHORUS 2
F
You're out of touch
Amin(add11)/D G
I'm out of time
Amin G6 Fmaj7 E
But I'm out of my head when you're not around
F
You're out of touch
Amin(add11)/D G
I'm out of time
Amin G Amin G
But I'm out of my head when you're not around
F
Ooh
Amin(add11)/D G
Oh-woh-oh
Amin G6 Fmaj7 E
Oh-woh-oh (ooooooooooooo. . .)
F
Ooh
Amin(add11)/D G
Oh-woh-oh (ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh, that's right . . .)

BRIDGE - Key change here - play the following chord progression as Daryl freestyles
and T-Bone shows off...

D Dm7 D Dm7 D Dm7


CHORUS 3 - The band sings the third chorus a cappela, clapping out the beat - there's a
short break right before "FINAL CHORUS" (after the band sings their last "you're out of
touch" in "CHORUS 3"), where they strum out . . .

E E E E . . . about 12 times

and then . . .

FINAL CHORUS
F
You're out of touch
Amin(add11)/D G
I'm out of time
Amin G6 Fmaj7 E
But I'm out of my head when you're not around
F
You're out of touch
Amin(add11)/D G
I'm out of time
Amin G Amin G
But I'm out of my head when you're not around . . .

Repeat this progression over and over again as Daryl freestyles, and when the song
finally comes to and end, bang out an "Amin" as the closing chord.

NOTE: If some of this tablature seems unclear (i.e. the rhythm, the timing, the
transitions, the ending, etc.), just listen to the song - it should be pretty self-explanatory.
Also, feel free to replace "Amin(add11)/D" with a basic "Dm" if it sounds better.
This tab should also work fairly well with the studio recording.

This is about the life going by too fast. "Shake it up is all that we know Using the bodies up as we go Waking up to fantasy' We're out of touch with the world, living in a fantasy... He wants this girl.. but shes out of touch, she doesnt realize he wants her. Thats my interpretation. Great song! Downloaded it by accident one time, and listened to it all the way to Cali! 1

Why do they allow both a "Hall& Oates" and a "Hall and Oates"? Come on, staff.
