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