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, 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
 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
 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 so shake him off
 And  given half the chance would I take any of it back
 It's a fine romance but  its left me so undone
 It's always darkest  before the dawn
 Oh woah, oh woah...
 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
 Cause  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
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
 with the ooooooh's)
