Regrets collect like old friends

Here to relive your darkest moments

I can see no way, I can see no way

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         C           F
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                                Dm
I'm always dragging that horse around

             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        C            F
But it's always darkest before the dawn

F
Shake it out, shake it out

Shake it out, shake it out, oh woah

Shake it out, shake it out

Shake it out, shake it out, oh woah

Bb
It's hard to dance

With a devil on your back
               F
So shake him off, oh woah

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         C            F
It's always darkest before the dawn

F
Shake it out, shake it out

Shake it out, shake it out, oh woah

Shake it out, shake it out

Shake it out, shake it out, oh woah

Bb
It's hard to dance

With a devil on your back
              F
So shake him off, oh woah

Dm
And it's hard to dance
        Bb
With a devil on your back
F
And given half the chance
                 C
Would I take any of it back?
Dm                        Bb
It's a fine romance but it left me so undone
Gm           Bb        C            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
So here's to drinks in the dark
        C
At the end of my road
Gm
And I'm ready to suffer

And I'm ready to hope
Dm
It's a shot in the dark
      C
Aimed right at my throat
       Bb
'Cause looking for heaven,
                      C
Found the devil in me
Dm
Looking for heaven,
          C
Found the devil in me
      Gm
Well, what the hell
           Am        Bb     C
I'm gonna let it happen to me

F
Shake it out, shake it out

Shake it out, shake it out,

Oh woah

Shake it out, shake it out

Shake it out, shake it out,

Oh woah

Bb
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, oh woah

Shake it out, shake it out

Shake it out, shake it out, oh woah

C
It's hard to dance

With a devil on your back
             F
So shake him off, oh woah
