F Dm Am
       (Shake, shake, shake, whoa-oa-oa)


[Verse 1]
F            Dm
Oh, Jessica WJ
Am                        F
Playing bass riffs, 1998
               Dm
She's forever left
            Am
In stories told

As Elizabeth, if you had only ever known


[Chorus 1]
F                                   Dm
Jessica, Jessica, Jessica, Jessica WJ

I don't know why I kept
Am
Running, and running, and running, and running, and running away

See I like you but
F                                      Dm
Jessica, Jessica, Jessica I made a mistake
               Am
You wrote your number on a letter and I threw it away

(Shake, shake, shake, whoa-oa-oa)


[Verse 2]
F                         Dm
And babble on the microphone
                       Am
A scorpion and a scorpio

I'm moonwalking like an Eskimo

Singing oh, oh, oh (yuh!)
F
Surf was down and the surf was up
Dm
Her hair stood like it was lightning struck
            Am
I joined an Argentinian boxing club like

Whoa-oa-oa


[Chorus 1]
F                                   Dm
Jessica, Jessica, Jessica, Jessica WJ

I don't know why I kept
Am
Running, and running, and running, and running, and running away

See I like you but
F                                       Dm
Jessica, Jessica, Jessica I made a mistake
               Am
You wrote your number on a letter and I threw it away

(Shake, shake, shake, whoa-oa-oa)


[Chorus 2]
             F
We're going downtown, baby

That's where we want to go
Dm
I got a map and rolled down the windows
Am
She says "hey," I say "it's beautiful"

(Shake, shake, shake, whoa-oa-oa)


[Chorus 2]
            F
We're going downtown, baby

That's where we want to go
Dm
I got a map and rolled down the windows
Am
She says "hey," I say "it's beautiful"

(Shake, shake, shake, whoa-oa-oa)


[Bridge]
Gm
Evil Knievel jumped the fire
Bb
Kept flying higher and higher
Gm      Am    Bb
A human cannonball
Gm
His cape hung red, white, blue
Bb
Girl cries out "I'm in love with you"
G
Now all that's left is the fall

But the feeling doesn't die


[Chorus 1]
F                                   Dm
Jessica, Jessica, Jessica, Jessica WJ

I don't know why I kept
Am
Running, and running, and running, and running, and running away

See I like you but
F                                      Dm
Jessica, Jessica, Jessica I made a mistake
               Am
You wrote your number on a letter and I threw it away

(Shake, shake, shake, whoa-oa-oa)


[Chorus 2]
            F
We're going downtown, baby

That's where we want to go
Dm
I got a map and rolled down the windows
Am
She says "hey," I say "it's beautiful"

(Shake, shake, shake, whoa-oa-oa)


[Chorus 2]
            F
We're going downtown, baby

That's where we want to go
Dm
I got a map and rolled down the windows
Am
She says "hey," I say "it's beautiful"

(Shake, shake, shake, whoa-oa-oa)
