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
DmBbF
And every demon wants his pound of flesh
CDm
But I like to keep some things to myself
BbGm
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
DmBbF
All of his questions, such a mournful sound
CDm
Tonight I'm gonna bury that horse in the ground
BbGm
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]
DmBbF
And I am done with my graceless heart
CDm
So tonight I'm gonna cut it out and then restart
BbGm
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
DmBb
And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back
FC
And given half the chance would I take any of it back
DmBb
It's a fine romance but it's left me so undone
GmBbF
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
DmC
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
DmC
It's a shot in the dark aimed right at my throat
Bb
Cause looking for heaven, found the devil in me
DmC
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
