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
