Berikut lirik dan chord lagu "The Handshake" oleh MGMT:

[Verse 1]

A                            G
I just shook the handshake
G                                D
I just sealed the deal
A                           G
I'll try not to let them
G                                     D
Take everything they can steal
A                                   G
People always told me
G                           D
Don't forget your roots
A                      G                                       D
I know I can feel them underneath my leather boots

[Pre-Chorus]

G           G/F#                Em A
You toss all the mornings lost
D                                   A     Bm
to the clouds and you watch it go
G                           G/F#           Em          A/C#
Your fair weather friends on a parachute binge
D                             A Bm
get lost when the wind blows
G                                      A
The handshake's stuck on the tip of my tongue
Bm
It tastes like death but it looks like fun

[Verse 2]

B
I was a loner
              Em        D# G#m
I was just waiting by myself
D
When you, warped temptress
                              F#                   B
Rose to bring me happiness and wealth
        Em                   D#               D               A
Black tears, black smile, black credit cards and shoes
A
You can call all the people you want
              E                         F#
But it's you who's being used

B
Under your black eyes, honey
Em             D#      G#m
Right beneath your nose
D
A curse on all creation
F#                                   B
Every single thing you know
            Em                D#                  D            A
White smoke, white light, white marble on the floor
A
It would only take a few seconds of darkness to
E                                F#
figure out what's in store
F#
Little girl

[Chorus]

G      G/F#             Em           A                     D
Mmmmmm you convince yourself that you want
                  A     Bm
it, but you don't know
G                   G/F#          Em        A
You keep on trying to wash the blood from your
D                   A   Bm
hands, but it won't go
G                                 A
We're gonna keep you on the run

[Outro]

Bm
We got the handshake under our tongue
Bm
We got the handshake under our tongue
Bm
We got the handshake under our tongue
Bm
We got the handshake under our tongue
