Standard (EADGBE)

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

And every demon wants his pound of flesh

 But I like to keep some things to myself

 I like to keep my issues strong

 It's always darkest before the dawn

And I've been a fool and I've been blind

 I can never leave the past behind

I can see no way, I can see no way

I'm always dragging that horse around

And our love is passed, it's such a mournful sound

 Tonight I'm gonna bury that horse in the ground

 So I like to keep my issues strong

 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

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

 So shake him off, oh woah

I am done with my graceless heart

 So tonight I'm gonna cut it out and then restart

 Cause I like to keep my issues strong

 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 woaaah

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

 So shake him off, oh woah

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

And given half the chance would I take any of it back

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

It's always darkest before the dawn

Oh woah, oh woah...

And I'm damned if I do and I'm damned if I don't

So here's to drinks in the dark at the end of my road

And I'm ready to suffer and I'm ready to hope

It's a shot in the dark and right at my throat

Cause looking for heaven, for the devil in me

Looking for heaven, for the devil in me

 Well what the hell I'm gonna let it happen to me

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

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

So shake him off, oh woah

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

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

So shake him off, oh woah

These G minors and B flats are the little church-y chord changes, if you're not sure

what the heck I'm doing.

Also I'm pretty sure there's no chord on "What the hell, I'm gonna let it happen to

me." But if you don't happen to have pounding drums to back you up, you might wanna play

the Bb there, or whatever else you think sounds good.
