Lyrics and Chords


[Capo 2]

The time I like is the rush hour, 'cause I like the rush 
The pushing of the people, I like it all so much 
Such a mass of motion, do not know where it goes 
I move with the movement and - I have the touch

/ A - A7sus4 A / / / A - G - A - - - /

I'm waiting for ignition, I'm looking for a spark 
Any chance collision and I light up in the dark 
There you stand before me, all that fur and all that hair 
Oh, do I dare - I have the touch 

{Refrain}
Only, only wanting contact 
I'm only, only wanting contact 
I'm only, only wanting contact
With you - shake those hands, shake those hands 
Give me the thing I understand 
Shake those hands, shake those hands 

/ Bm - A - / / / G - Bm - G - / F# - G - / Bm - G - /

Shake hands, shake hands 

/ D - - - A - - - /

Any social occasion, it's hello, how do you do 
All those introductions, I never miss my cue 
So before a question, so before a doubt 
My hand moves out and - I have the touch 

{Refrain}

Shake those hands

/ Bm - /

Pull my chin, stroke my hair, scratch my nose, hug my knees 
Try drink, food, cigarette, tension will not ease 
I tap my fingers, fold my arms, breathe in deep, cross my legs 
Shrug my shoulders, stretch my back, but nothing seems to please 

/ G - F# - / G - Bm - / :

I need contact 
I need contact 
Nothing seems to please 
I need contact
I need contact
I need contact

/ G - Bm - / :
