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 strong
It's always darkest before the dawn


And I've been a fool and I have 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
I like to keep my issues strong

It's always darkest before the dawn

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

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

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

So shake him off, oh woah

And I am done with my graceless heart

So tonight I'm gonna cut it out and then restart
I like to keep my issues strong
It's always darkest before the dawn


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


And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back
So shake him off, oh woah


And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back
And given half the chance would I take any of it back

It's a fine romance, but it's left me so empty
It's always darkest before the dawn


And I'm damned if I do and 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 and I'm ready to hope

It's a shot in the dark and right at my throat
Searching for heaven, found a devil in me
Searching for heaven, found a devil in me

What the hell I'm gonna let it happen to me

Woah


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


And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back
So shake him off, oh woah


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


And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back
So shake him off, oh woah


Woah woah woah woah
Woah woah woah woah

Woah woah woah woah

Oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh
