Shake It Out

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

come out to play

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

before the dawn

[Verse]
D  
And I've been a fool

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

that horse around

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

before the dawn

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

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

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

before the dawn

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

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

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

D
Oh woah, oh woah...

[Bridge]
Em  
And I'm damned if I do

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

and I'm ready to hope
Bm                      
  It's a shot in the dark
      A
and right at my throat
G  
Cause looking for heaven,

for the devil in me
Bm                  
  Looking for heaven,
           A
for the devil in me
G  
Well what the hell I'm

gonna let it happen to me

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

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

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

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

[Outro]
D
Oooh oooh oooh oooh
G        D
Oooh oooh oooh oooh
D
Oooh oooh oooh oooh
G        D
Oooh oooh oooh oooh
