Shake It Out (Acoustic)

Lyrics

[Intro] 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 [Verse 1] 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 All of his questions, such a mournful sound Tonight, I'm gonna bury that horse in the ground 'Cause I like to keep my issues drawn But it's always darkest before the dawn [Chorus] Shake it out, shake it out Shake it out, shake it out, oh, whoa Shake it out, shake it out Shake it out, shake it out, oh, whoa And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back So shake it off, oh, whoa [Verse 2] And I am done with my graceless heart So tonight I'm gonna cut it out and then restart 'Cause I like to keep my issues drawn It's always darkest before the dawn [Chorus] Shake it out, shake it out Shake it out, shake it out, oh whoa Shake it out, shake it out Shake it out, shake it out, oh whoa And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back So shake it off, oh, whoa [Bridge] And it's hard to dance With a devil on your back (Shake it off) And given half the chance Would I take any of it back? (Shake it off) It's a fine romance But it's left me so undone (Shake it off) (Shake it off) It's always darkest before the dawn Oh, whoa Oh, whoa [Breakdown] 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 rope And I'm ready to suffer, and I'm ready to hope It's a shot in the dark aimed right at my throat 'Cause looking for heaven, found the devil in me (Oh, woah) Looking for heaven, found the devil in me (Oh, woah) But, what the hell, I'm gonna let it happen to me, yeah [Chorus] Shake it out, shake it out Shake it out, shake it out, oh, whoa Shake it out, shake it out Shake it out, shake it out, what the hell? And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back So shake it off, oh, whoa Shake it out, shake it out Shake it out, shake it out, oh, whoa Shake it out, shake it out Shake it out, shake it out, oh, whoa And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back So shake him off, oh whoa
