F
Regrets collect like old friends
Here to relive your darkest moments
Bb
I can see no way, I can see no way
F
And all of the ghouls come out to play


Dm          Bb                     F
And every demon wants his pound of flesh
              C                     Dm
But I like to keep some things to myself
           Bb             Gm
I like to keep my issues strong
             Bb
It's always darkest before the dawn


F
And I've been a fool and I've been blind
                              Bb
I can never leave the past behind
I can see no way, I can see no way
F
I'm always dragging that horse around


Dm               Bb                            F
And our love is passed, it's such a mournful sound
                   C                       Dm
Tonight I'm gonna bury that horse in the ground
              Bb              Gm
So I like to keep my issues strong
                 Bb
But it's always darkest before the dawn


F
Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh woaaah
Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh woaaaah


Bb
And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back
              F
So shake him off, oh woah


Dm    Bb                      F
I am done with my graceless heart
                      C                      Dm
So tonight I'm gonna cut it out and then restart
                 Bb              Gm
Cause I like to keep my issues strong
             Bb
It's always darkest before the dawn


F
Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh woaaah
Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh woaaah


Bb
And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back
              F
So shake him off, oh woah


Dm                             Bb
And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back
F                                  C
And given half the chance would I take any of it back
Dm                          Bb
It's a final mess but it's left me so undone
Gm            Bb                F
It's always darkest before the dawn


F
Oh woah, oh woah...


Gm
And I'm damned if I do and I'm damned if I don't
Dm                                     C
So here's to drinks in the dark at the end of my road
Gm
And I'm ready to suffer and I'm ready to hope
Dm                           C
It's a shot in the dark and right at my throat
Bb
Cause looking for heaven, for the devil in me
Dm                            C
Looking for heaven, for the devil in me
- Bb -
Well what the hell I'm gonna let it happen to me


F
Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh woaaah
Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh woaaah


Bb
And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back
F
So shake him off, oh woah


F
Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh woaaah
Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh woaaah


Bb
And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back
F
So shake him off, oh woah
