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
