Shake It Out

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'd 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-woah Shake it out, shake it out Shake it out, shake it out, oh-woah And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back So shake him off, oh-woah [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-woah Shake it out, shake it out Shake it out, shake it out, oh-woah And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back So shake him off, oh-woah (Shake him off) [Bridge] And it's hard to dance With a devil on your back (Shake him off) And given half the chance Would I take any of it back? (Shake him off) It's a fine romance But it's left me so undone (Shake him off) It's always darkest before the dawn (Shake him off) (Oh-woah) (Oh-woah) [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 lookin' 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-woah Shake it out, shake it out Shake it out, shake it out, oh-woah 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, oh-woah Shake it out, shake it out Shake it out, shake it out, oh-woah And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back So shake him off, oh-woah [Outro] (What the hell) Oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
