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