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