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
 
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 drawn
        F            C
It's always darkest before the dawn

C
And I've been 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
Our love is pastured such a mournful sound
            G               Am
Tonight I'm gonna bury that horse in the ground
       F         Dm 
I like to keep my issues drawn
           F            C
But it's always darkest before the dawn

C
Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out, oh whoa
C
Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out, oh whoa

F
And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back
         C
So shake him off, oh whoa

Am     F               C
And 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 drawn
        F            C
It's always darkest before the dawn

C
Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out, oh whoa
C
Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out, oh whoa

F
And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back
         C
So shake him off, oh whoa

Am                    F
And it's hard to dance with the devil on your back
C                       G
And given half the chance, would I take any of it back
Am                  F
It's a fine romance but it's left me so undone
Dm       F            C
It's always darkest before the dawn

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 aimed right at my throat
     F
'Cause looking for heaven, found the devil in me
Am                   G
Looking for heaven, found the devil in me
   F                            G
But what the hell, I'm gonna let it happen to me, yeah

C
Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out, oh whoa
C
Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out, oh whoa

F
And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back
         C
So shake him off, oh whoa

C
Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out, oh whoa
C
Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out, oh whoa

F
And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back
         C
So shake him off, oh whoa

C
Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out, oh whoa
C
Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out, oh whoa

F
And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back
         C
So shake him off, oh whoa
