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