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 
And every demon wants his pound of flesh 
But I like to keep some things to myself 
I like to keep my issues drawn it's always darkest before the dawn 
And I've been a fool and I've been blind 
I can never leave the past behind 
I can see no way I can see no way 
I'm always dragging that horse around 
And our love is pastured such a mournful sound 
Tonight I'm gonna bury that horse in the ground 
So I like to keep my issues drawn 
But it's always darkest before the dawn 
Shake it out 
Shake it out Ooh whoah oh 
Shake it out Shake it out 
Shake it out Shake it out 
Ooh whoah oh And it's hard to dance 
With a devil on your back So shake him off 
Oo whoah 
'Cos I am done with my grace less heart 
So tonight I'm gonna cut it out and then restart 
I like to keep my issues drawn 
It's always darkest before the dawn, 
ooh oh oh 
Shake it out 
Shake it out Shake it out Shake it out 
Ooh whoah oh 
And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back 
So shake him off Oo whoah 
So shake it out 
And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back 
Given half the chance would I take any of it back 
It's a fine romance but it's left me so undone 
It's always darkest before the dawn 
Ooh whoah oh Ooh whoah oh 
And I'm damned if I do I'm damned 
if I don't 
So here's to drinks in the dark 
at the end of my road 
And I'm ready to suffer 
I'm ready to hope 
It's a shot in the dark and it's right at my throat 
'Cos looking for heaven found the devil in me 
Looking for heaven found the devil in me 
Well what the hell I'm gonna let it happen to me, yea yeah yeah 
So shake him off, oh woah oh 
Shake it out Shake it out 
Shake it out Shake it out 
Ooh whoah oh Shake it out 
Shake it out Shake it out 
Shake it out Ooh whoah oh 
And it's hard to dance 
With a devil on your back 
So shake him off 
Oo whoah 
Hey, oh hey hey oh oh hey, hey 
Woah ooh woah ooh woah ooh woah 
ooh woah ooh woah ooh Woah ooh woah ooh woah ooh 
woah ooh woah ooh woah ooh ooh Woah 
ooh woah ooh woah ooh woah ooh woah 
ooh woah ooh Woah ooh woah ooh 
woah ooh woah ooh woah 
ooh woah ooh ooh
