[Verse 1]
 
 F
Regrets collect like old friends
                               Bb
Here to relive your darkest moments
                                      F
I can see no way, I can see no way
 
                                   Dm
And all of the ghouls come out to play
            Bb                       F
And every demon wants his pound of flesh
               C                     Bb
But I like to keep some things to myself
 
                          Gm
I like to keep my issues strong
                 Bb               F
It's always darkest before the dawn
 
                                     Gm
And I've been a fool and I've been blind
F                             Bb
I can never leave the past behind
                                   Gm  F
I can see no way, I can see no way
 
                                   Dm
I'm always dragging that horse around
              Bb                      F
All of his questions, such a mournful sound
                   C                        Bb
Tonight I'm gonna bury that horse in the ground
 
                                Gm
So I like to keep my issues strong
                    Bb               F
But it's always darkest before the dawn
 
 
[Chorus]
 
                                                         Gm     F
Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh woaaah
                                                               Gm
Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh woaaaah
Bb
And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back
      Gm       F
So shake him off, oh woah
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
Dm       Bb                    F
   I am done with my graceless heart
                      C                     Bb
So tonight I'm gonna cut it out and then restart
 
                                Gm
Cause I like to keep my issues strong
              Bb                  F
It's always darkest before the dawn
 
 
[Chorus]
 
                                                         Gm     F

Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh woaaah
                                                               Gm
Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh woaaaah

And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back

So shake him off, oh woah
 
 
[Verse 3]
 
Dm                          Bb
And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back
F                                 C
And given half the chance would I take any of it back
 
Dm                         Bb
It's a final mess but it's left me so empty
Gm          Bb                  F
It's always darkest before the dawn
 
Oh woah, oh woah...
 
 
[Bridge]
 
Bb
And I'm damned if I do and I'm damned if I don't
Dm                                        C
So here's to drinks in the dark at the end of my road
Bb
And I'm ready to suffer and I'm ready to hope
Dm                            C
It's a shot in the dark and right at my throat
 
Bb
Cause looking for heaven, for the devil in me
Dm                   C
Looking for heaven, for the devil in me
Bb                                             C
Well what the hell I'm gonna let it happen to me
 
 
[Chorus]
 
F                                                       Gm   F
Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh woaaah
                                                             Gm
Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh woaaah
Bb
And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back
Gm            F
So shake him off, oh woah
 
                                                        Gm   F
Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh woaaah
                                                             Gm
Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh woaaah
Bb
And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back
Gm                F
So shake him off, oh woah
