This is how it's played on the acoustic version of the song. The guitarist uses a 12 string guitar but it's basically the same. [Verse]
C
Regrets collect like old friends

Am
Here to relive your darkest moments

F
I can see no way, I can see no way

C
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
It's always darkest before the dawn

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

Am                          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
All of his questions, such a mournful sound

                   G                       Am
Tonight I'm gonna bury that horse in the ground

              F              Dm
So I like to keep my issues strong

                 F
But it's always darkest before the dawn
[Chorus]
C
Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh woaaah

Am
Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh woaaaah

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

              C
So shake him off, oh woah
[Verse]
Am    F                      C
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

             F
It's always darkest before the dawn
[Chorus]
C
Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh woaaah

Am
Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh woaaah

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

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

C                                  G
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

C
Oh woah, oh woah...
[Bridge]
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 rope

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
Well what the hell I'm gonna let it happen to me
[Chorus]
C
Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh woaaah

Am
Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh woaaah

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

C
So shake him off, oh woah

C
Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh woaaah

Am
Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh woaaah

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

C
So shake him off, oh woah
