Shake It Out - MTV Unplugged, 2012

[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 bеfore the dawn

[Chorus]

Shake it out, shakе 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

[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 him off, oh whoa (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)

(Shake him 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, oh whoa

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

So shake him 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

[Outro]

(What the hell...) Oh-oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

(What the hell...)

Oh-oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-woah-oh

(What the hell...)

Oh-oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh-oh

(What the hell...)

Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-woah-oh

Oh-oh-oh-oh

(What the hell...)

Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-woah-oh
