[Verse]
C
Regrets collect like old friends
Here to relive your darkest moments
F
I can see no way, I can see no way
C
And all of the ghouls come out to play
Am F C
And every demon wants his pound of flesh
G Am
But I like to keep some things to myself
F Dm
I like to keep my issues strong
F
It's always darkest before the dawn
[Verse]
C
And I've been a fool and I've been blind
F
I can never leave the past behind
I can see no way, I can see no way
C
I'm always dragging that horse around
Am F C
And our love is passed, it's such a mournful sound
G Am
Tonight I'm gonna bury that horse in the ground
F Dm
So I like to keep my issues strong
F
But it's always darkest before the dawn
[Chorus]
C
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
F
And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back
C
So shake him off, oh woah
[Verse]
Am F C
I am done with my graceless heart
G Am
So tonight I'm gonna cut it out and then restart
F Dm
Cause I like to keep my issues strong
F
It's always darkest before the dawn
[Chorus]
C
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
F
And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back
C
So shake him off, oh woah
[Verse]
Am F
And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back
C G
And given half the chance would I take any of it back
Am F
It's a final mess but it's left me so undone
Dm F C
It's always darkest before the dawn
C
Oh woah, oh woah...
[Bridge]
Dm
And I'm damned if I do and I'm damned if I don't
Am G
So here's to drinks in the dark at the end of my road
Dm
And I'm ready to suffer and I'm ready to hope
Am G
It's a shot in the dark and right at my throat
F
Cause looking for heaven, for the devil in me
Am G
Looking for heaven, for the devil in me
F
Well what the hell I'm gonna let it happen to me
[Chorus]
C
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
F
And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back
C
So shake him off, oh woah
[Chorus]
C
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
F
And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back
C
So shake him off, oh woah
