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

           Bb                          F 
 And every demon wants his pound of flesh
                  C                   Dm 
 But I like to keep some things to myself
             Bb                Gm
 I like to keep my issues drawn
            Bb                    F
 It's always darkest before the dawn
 
 [VERSE ONE]
      F
 And I've been a fool and I've been blind
  F                            Bb 
 I can never leave the past behind
  Bb 
 I can see no way, I can see no way
  F 
 I'm always dragging that horse around
 Dm              Bb                         F 
 All of his questions, such a mournful sound
                     C                        Dm
 Tonight I'm gonna bury that horse in the ground
                   Bb               Gm
 'Cause I like to keep my issues drawn
              Bb                        F 
 But it's always darkest before the dawn

 So shake him off, oh whoa

 [VERSE TWO]
   Dm        Bb                       F 
 And I am done with my graceless heart
  F                    C                     Dm 
 So tonight I'm gonna cut it out and then restart
  Dm                 Bb               Gm
 'Cause I like to keep my issues drawn
              Bb                    F 
 It's always darkest before the dawn

 And I'm damned if I do and I'm damned if I don't
  Dm                                 C 
 So here's to drinks in the dark at the end of my rope
      Gm
 And I'm ready to suffer and I'm ready to hope
    Dm                             C 
 It's a shot in the dark aimed right at my throat
    Bb 
 'Cause looking for heaven, found the devil in me (Oh woah)
     Dm                          C 
 Looking for heaven, found the devil in me (Oh woah)
                   Gm
 But, what the hell, I'm gonna let it happen to me, yeah
