Intro: E
Verse 1:
F             G           C           E                 F                D                         C
 I just got up from a dream, I dreamed that I - I      was running through the wind,
      E        F           D                C
but all the ti-me, for it was just a dream.
C                      G       F
You know what I mean, Yeah!
E                                          C              A                D         E                    C   A           D
   Don't you know you gotta go! 	( Hey hey hey!           -             Woooo! hey!)
Verse 2:
F                   G               C         E      F              D             C
 I just stepped in from New York at 10 a - m	International Airport
      E         F            D                  C                                  G A	
and now I'm here with all my friends again. Wonder if there' a God...?
Bridge:
A                                      E
You just don't seem to understand it, 
        D                             A
but a man ain't supposed to cry
                                     E
I don't want you to think I planned it,
                         D                                                         A		  
so I....................make......up......a......reason....................why.................................................................why
(whispered over - 'Shake it to the East, shake it to the West, shake it to the one that you love.
To the beat, to the beat 'til they step out-side'*)

        Don't you think I ought to come on home!?
