Shake It Out

[Verse]
G
Regrets collect like old friends
Here to relive your darkest moments
C
I can see no way, I can see no way
G  
And all of the ghouls

come out to play

Em          C        
  And every demon wants
              G
his pound of flesh
              D    
  But I like to keep
                  Em
some things to myself
           C             Am
I like to keep my issues strong
             C  
It's always darkest

before the dawn

[Verse]
G  
And I've been a fool

and I've been blind
                              C
I can never leave the past behind
I can see no way, I can see no way
G  
I'm always dragging

that horse around

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

before the dawn

[Chorus]
G  
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
C  
And it's hard to dance

with a devil on your back
              G
So shake him off, oh woah

[Verse]
Em    C                      G
I am done with my graceless heart
                      D  
  So tonight I'm gonna cut
                     Em
it out and then restart
                 C  
  Cause I like to keep
             Am
my issues strong
             C  
It's always darkest

before the dawn

[Chorus]
G  
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
C  
And it's hard to dance

with a devil on your back
              G
So shake him off, oh woah

[Verse]
Em                     
  And it's hard to dance
         C
with a devil on your back
G                         
  And given half the chance
          D
would I take any of it back
Em                    
  It's a final mess but
       C
it's left me so undone
Am            C    
  It's always darkest
             G
before the dawn

G
Oh woah, oh woah...

[Bridge]
Am  
And I'm damned if I do

and I'm damned if I don't
Em                         
  So here's to drinks in the
             D
dark at the end of my road
Am  
And I'm ready to suffer

and I'm ready to hope
Em                      
  It's a shot in the dark
      D
and right at my throat
C  
Cause looking for heaven,

for the devil in me
Em                  
  Looking for heaven,
           D
for the devil in me
C  
Well what the hell I'm

gonna let it happen to me

[Chorus]
G  
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
C  
And it's hard to dance

with a devil on your back
G
So shake him off, oh woah

[Chorus]
G  
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
C  
And it's hard to dance

with a devil on your back
G
So shake him off, oh woah

[Outro]
G
Oooh oooh oooh oooh
C        G
Oooh oooh oooh oooh
G
Oooh oooh oooh oooh
C        G
Oooh oooh oooh oooh
