Introduction:
E
Regrets collect like old friends
E
Here to relive your darkest moments
A
I can see no way, I can see no way
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
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
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
A
And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back
E
So shake him off, oh woah
