               E
I feel like a sail-boat
               G
Adrift on the sea
         G    F#m F
It's a brand new day
                    E     G F#m F
So when you gonna phone me

I could take you to heaven
I could spin you to hell
But I'll take you to New York
It's the place that I know well

 G
Sitting on a flagstone talking
      G   F#m  F  E
to a faceless girl
 G
Wondering what to say but
                           C
my eyes do the talking so well

C
I duck and I sway - what's my line
Shoot at a full moon - what's my line
                           G
What's my line - shake it baby

Cause love is the answer
Love's talking to me
I'd scream and I'll fight for you
You're better than money

We're the kind of people who
can shake it if we're feeling blue
When I'm feeling disconnected
well I sure know what to do
Shake it baby

I duck and I sway - what's my line
Shoot at a full moon - what's my line
What's my line - shake it baby
