[Intro]
A#m C#
A#m C#
A#m C#
A#m C#
[Chorus]
A#m
I'm feeling guarded,
C# A#m
I woke up with a suit of armour on my body,
C# A#m
And I know I put it on myself,
C# A#m C#
And only I can take it off.
[Verse 1]
A#m
It makes me heavy,
C# A#m
I'm struggling to rise and greet the day,
C# A#m
And I don't like it when I'm like this,
C# A#m
But it's not easy to shake away,
C# A#m C#
It's not easy.
[Interlude]
A#m C#
A#m C#
A#m C#
[Verse 2]
A#m
I wear this armour,
C# A#m C#
For I'm afraid that I might be disarmed,
A#m
And if I am not careful,
C# A#m
I may be hurt,
C#
And I may be harmed.
[Verse 3]
A#m C#
Oh of course I want to trust you but I,
A#m C#
Have reason to be concerned,
A#m C#
I'm confused by men's behaviour and I,
A#m C#
Won't be tricked and I won't be burned,
C# A#m13
No I won't be.
[Interlude]
C#
Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake,
A#m13 C#
Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake,
A#m13 C#
Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake,
A#m13 C#
Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake.
A#m C#
A#m C#
A#m C#
A#m C#
A#m C#
A#m C#
A#m C#
A#m C#
[Chorus]
A#m
So, I'm feeling guarded,
C# A#m
I woke up with a suit of armour on my body,
C# A#m
And I know I put it on myself,
C# A#m C#
And only I can take it off.
[Verse 4]
A#m
It makes me heavy,
C# A#m
I'm struggling to rise and greet the day,
C# A#m
And I don't like it when I'm like this,
C# A#m
But it's not easy to shake away,
C# A#m13
It's not easy.
[Outro]
C#
Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake,
A#m13 C#
Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake,
A#m13
It's not easy,
C#
Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake,
A#m13 C#
Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake,
A#m13
It's not easy,
C#
Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake,
A#m13 C#
Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake,
A#m13
It's not easy,
C#
Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake,
A#m13 C#
Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake,
A#m13
It's not easy,
A#m13 C#
A#m13 C#
A#m13 C#
A#m13 C#
A#m13 C#
A#m13 C#
A#m13 C#
