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
Am F C
And every demon wants his pound of flesh
G Am
But I like to keep some things to 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 C
Our love is pastured such a mournful sound
G Am
Tonight I'm gonna bury that horse in the ground
F Dm
I like to keep my issues drawn
F C
But 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 F C
And I am done with my graceless heart
G Am
So tonight I'm gonna cut it out and then restart
F Dm
'Cause I like to keep my issues drawn

And given half the chance, would I 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 G
So here's to drinks in the dark, 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 G
But what the hell, I'm gonna let it happen to me, yeah
