D                D9
Regrets collect like old friends
G
Here to relive your darkest moments
Bm
I can see no way, I can see no way
G
And all of the ghouls come out to play

D                                       G
And every demon wants his pound of flesh

But I like to keep some things to myself
Bm
I like to keep my issues strong
G
It's always darkest before the dawn

D                      D9
And I've been a fool and I've been blind
G
I can never leave the past behind
Bm
I can see no way, I can see no way
G
I'm always dragging that horse around

D                      D9
And our love is pastured such a mournful sound
G
Tonight I'm gonna bury that horse in the ground
Bm
So I like to keep my issues strong
G
But it's always darkest before the dawn

D             D9
Shake it out, shake it out
D4             D
Shake it out, shake it out, oh woah
G
Shake it out, shake it out

Shake it out, shake it out, oh woah
Bm
It's hard to dance with a devil on your back
G
So shake him off, oh woah

D                 D9
And I am done with my graceless heart
G
So tonight i'm gonna cut it out and then restart
Bm
Cause I like to keep my issues strong
G
It's always darkest before the dawn

D             D9
Shake it out, shake it out
D4             D
Shake it out, shake it out, oh woah
G
Shake it out, shake it out

Shake it out, shake it out, oh woah
Bm
It's hard to dance with a devil on your back
G
So shake him off, oh woah

D
It's hard to dance with a devil on your back
G
So shake him off
D
And given half the chance
G
Would I take any of it back?
Bm
It's a final mess but it's left me so empty
G
It's always darkest before the dawn

D        G
Oh woah, oh woah

D
And I'm damned if I do

And i'm damned if I don't
G
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
G
It's a shot in the dark and right at my throat
D
'Cause looking for heaven, for the devil in me
G
Looking for heaven, for the devil in me
Bm
Well, what the hell
G
I'm gonna let it happen to me

D             D9
Shake it out, shake it out
D4             D
Shake it out, shake it out, oh woah
G
Shake it out, shake it out

Shake it out, shake it out, oh woah
Bm
It's hard to dance with a devil on your back
G
So shake him off, oh woah

D             D9
Shake it out, shake it out
D4             D
Shake it out, shake it out, oh woah
G
Shake it out, shake it out

Shake it out, shake it out, oh woah
Bm
It's hard to dance with a devil on your back
G
So shake him off, oh woah

D             D9
Shake it out, shake it out
D4             D
Shake it out, shake it out, oh woah
G
Shake it out, shake it out

Shake it out, shake it out, oh woah
Bm
It's hard to dance with a devil on your back
G
So shake him off, oh woah
