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 strong
F
It's always darkest before the dawn
C
And I've been a 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 And our love is passed, it's such a
C
mournful sound
G
Tonight I'm gonna bury that horse in the
Am
ground
F Dm
So I like to keep my issues strong
F
But it's always darkest before the dawn

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

I am done with my graceless heart
G
So tonight I'm gonna cut it out and then

restart

It's a final mess but it's left me so undone

It's always darkest before the dawn
C
Oh woah, oh woah...
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 and right at my throat
F
Cause looking for heaven, for the devil in me
Am G
Looking for heaven, for the devil in me
F
Well what the hell I'm gonna let it happen to me
C
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
F
And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back
C
So shake him off, oh woah
C
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
