Interlude+ridge
tr. I & II
you can aim for a clap on 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 &
just make any rhythm really with xxxxxx clicks, no chord here
tr. I
Play power chord riff until end.
tr. II
Pick chords like in the chorus until emd.
tr. III
I play this part when playing solo so it's easier to vocalize
You can use the saxophone strumming pattern like Gtr. I or any pattern you like.
1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 &

LYRIS
*strum once
I stay up too late, got nothing in my brain
That's what people say mm-mmm, that's what people say mm-mmm
I go on too many dates, but I can't make 'em stay
At least that's what people say mm-mmm, that's what people say mm-mmm
But I keep cruising, can't stop, won't stop moving
It's like I got this music in my mind saying it's gonna be alright
horus
'Cause the players gonna play, play, play, play, play, play
Haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate
I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
Shake it off, I shake it off
Heartbreakers gonna break, break, break, break, break
And the fakers gonna fake, fake, fake, fake, fake, fake
I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
Shake it off, I shake it off
Verse 2 -same as above
I never miss a beat, I'm lightning on my feet
And that's what they don't see mm-mm, that's what they don't see mm-mm
I'm dancing on my own, I'll make the rules up as I go
And that's what they don't know mm-mm, that's what they don't know mm-mm
Prechorus -same as above
But I keep cruising, can't stop, won't stop grooving
It's like I got this music in my mind saying it's gonna be alright
horus -I stop palm muting here when playing solo tr. I
'Cause the players gonna play, play, play, play, play, play
Haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate
Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
Shake it off, I shake it off
Heartbreakers gonna break, break, break, break, break, break
Fakers gonna fake, fake, fake, fake, fake, fake
I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
Shake it off, I shake it off
Shake it off, I shake it off
I, I, I shake it off, I shake it off
I, I, I shake it off, I shake it off
I, I, I, I, I, I, III
