Shake It Out

Am        F                       
And every demon wants his pound of 
 C
flesh
              G                  
But I like to keep some things to 
   Am
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                    
Our love is pastured such a 
    C
mournful sound
                  G                
Tonight I'm gonna bury that horse 
      Am
in the ground
          F              Dm
I like to keep my issues drawn
                F                  
But it's always darkest before the 
C
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 I am done with my graceless 
C
heart
Continues after the ad
                     G             
So tonight I'm gonna cut it out and
         Am
 then restart
                 F             
'Cause I like to keep my issues 
 Dm
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                            
And it's hard to dance with the 
  F
devil on your back
C                                  
And given half the chance, would I 
G
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                                
So here's to drinks in the dark, 
      G
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                              
But what the hell, I'm gonna let it
           G
 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
