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 drawn
             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
All of his questions, 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 drawn
                 Bb
But it's always darkest before the dawn


[Chorus]

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


[Verse 2]

Dm       Bb                    F
And 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 drawn
             Bb
It's always darkest before the dawn


[Chorus]

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 fine romance but it's left me so undone
Gm            Bb                F
It's always darkest before the dawn

F
Oh woah, oh woah...


[Bridge]

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 rope
Gm
And I'm ready to suffer and I'm ready to hope
Dm                             C
It's a shot in the dark aimed right at my throat
Bb
Cause looking for heaven, found the devil in me
Dm                            C
Looking for heaven, found the devil in me
(Bb)
Well what the hell I'm gonna let it happen to me


[Chorus]

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
