Shake It Out<\/strong><\/em>:<\/p>\n

“Regrets collect like old friends
\nhere to relive your darkest moments
\nI can see no way, I can see no way.<\/p>\n

And all of the ghouls come out to play
\nThen every demon wants his pound of flesh
\nbut I like to keep some things to myself
\nI like to keep my issues drawn
\nIt’s always darkest before the dawn.<\/p>\n

And I’ve been a fool and I’ve been blind
\nI can never leave the past behind
\nI can see no way, I can see no way<\/p>\n

I’m always dragging that horse around
\nAll of these questions, such a mournful sound
\nTonight I’m gonna bury that horse in the ground
\n‘Cause I like to keep my issues drawn
\nIt’s always darkest before the dawn.<\/p>\n

Shake it out, shake it out
\nShake it out, shake it out uh-oh
\nShake it out, shake it out
\nShake it out, shake it out uh-oh
\nAnd it’s hard to dance with the devil on your back
\nso shake him off uh-oh<\/p>\n

And I am done with my graceless heart
\nso tonight I’m gonna cut it out and then restart
\n‘Cause I like to keep my issues drawn
\nIt’s always darkest before the dawn.<\/p>\n

Shake it out, shake it out
\nShake it out, shake it out uh-oh
\nShake it out, shake it out
\nShake it out, shake it out uh-oh
\nAnd it’s hard to dance with the devil on your back
\nso shake him off uh-oh<\/p>\n

And you tried to dance with the devil on your back
\nGiven half the chance, would I take any of it back?
\nIt’s a fine romance but it’s left me so undone
\nIt’s always darkest before the dawn<\/p>\n

And I’m damned if I do and damned if I don’t
\nSo here’s to drinks in the dark at the end of my rope
\nAnd I’m ready to suffer and I’m ready to hope
\nIt’s a shot in the dark aimed right at my throat
\n‘Cause looking for heaven found a devil in me
\nLooking for heaven found a devil in me
\nBut why the hell I’m gonna let it happen to me?<\/p>\n

Shake it out, shake it out
\nShake it out, shake it out uh-oh
\nShake it out, shake it out
\nShake it out, shake it out uh-oh
\nAnd it’s hard to dance with the devil on your back
\nso shake him off uh-oh”<\/p>\n
