Capo 5 

N.C. 
Regrets collect like old friends 
Here to relive your darkest moments 
I can see no way, I can see no way 
And all of the ghouls come out to play 

Am        F                        C 
And every demon wants his pound of flesh 
              G                     Am 
But I like to keep some things to myself 
          F              Dm  
I like to keep my issues drawn 
            F                  C 
It's always darkest before the dawn 

C 
And I've been fool and I've been blind 
                             F 
I can never leave the past behind 

I can see no way, I can see no way 
C 
I'm always dragging that horse around 

Am          F                        C 
Our love is pastured such a mournful sound 
                  G                      Am 
Tonight I'm gonna bury that horse in the ground 
          F              Dm  
I like to keep my issues drawn 
                F                  C 
But it's always darkest before the dawn 

C 
Shake it out, shake it out 
Shake it out, shake it out, oh whoa 
C 
Shake it out, shake it out 
Shake it out, shake it out, oh whoa 

F 
And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back 
             C 
So shake him off, oh whoa 

Am       F                      C 
And I am done with my graceless heart 
                     G                      Am 
So tonight I'm gonna cut it out and then restart 
                 F              Dm  
'Cause I like to keep my issues drawn 
            F                  C 
It's always darkest before the dawn 

C 
Shake it out, shake it out 
Shake it out, shake it out, oh whoa 
C 
Shake it out, shake it out 
Shake it out, shake it out, oh whoa 

F 
And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back 
             C 
So shake him off, oh whoa 

Am                              F 
And it's hard to dance with the devil on your back 
C                                  G 
And given half the chance, would I take any of it back 
Am                           F 
It's a fine romance but it's left me so undone 
Dm          F                  C 
It's always darkest before the dawn 

Dm 
And I'm damned if I do and I'm damned if I don't 
Am                                      G 
So here's to drinks in the dark, at the end of my road 
Dm 
And I'm ready to suffer and I'm ready to hope 
Am                            G 
It's a shot in the dark aimed right at my throat 
       F 
'Cause looking for heaven, found the devil in me 
Am                            G 
Looking for heaven, found the devil in me 
    F                                         G 
But what the hell, I'm gonna let it happen to me, yeah 

C 
Shake it out, shake it out 
Shake it out, shake it out, oh whoa 
C 
Shake it out, shake it out 
Shake it out, shake it out, oh whoa 

F 
And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back 
              C 
So shake him off, oh whoa 

C 
Shake it out, shake it out 
Shake it out, shake it out, oh whoa 
C 
Shake it out, shake it out 
Shake it out, shake it out, oh whoa 

F 
And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back 
             C 
So shake him off, oh whoa 

C 
Shake it out, shake it out 
Shake it out, shake it out, oh whoa 
C 
Shake it out, shake it out 
Shake it out, shake it out, oh whoa 

F 
And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back 
             C 
So shake him off, oh whoa
