C C
Regrets collect like old friends
Here to relive your darkest moments
F F
I can see no way, I can see no way
C C
And all of the ghouls come out to play

Am Am F F C C
And every demon wants his pound of flesh
G G Am Am
But I like to keep some things to myself
F F Dm Dm
I like to keep my issues strong
F F
It's always darkest before the dawn

C C
And I've been a fool and I've been blind
F F
I can never leave the past behind
I can see no way, I can see no way
C C
I'm always dragging that horse around

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

C 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 woaaaah

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

Am Am F F C C
I am done with my graceless heart
G G
So tonight I'm gonna cut it out and then
Am Am
restart
F F Dm Dm
Cause I like to keep my issues strong
F F
It's always darkest before the dawn

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

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

C C
Oh woah, oh woah...

Dm Dm
And I'm damned if I do and I'm damned if I don't
Am Am G G
So here's to drinks in the dark at the end of my road
Dm Dm
And I'm ready to suffer and I'm ready to hope
Am Am G G
It's a shot in the dark and right at my throat
F F
Cause looking for heaven, for the devil in me
Am Am G G
Looking for heaven, for the devil in me
F F
Well what the hell I'm gonna let it happen to me

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

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

About this song: Shake It Out

The Shake It Out Songfacts reports that the song is about having a hangover and wanting to shake it out. Speaking to XFM radio, Florence explained: "I wanted to just shake something out, shake out these regrets, shake out these things that haunt you. It was one of those songs that came in about half an hour and when you've got a hangover, it is almost like a hangover cure. You're like, thank you!"
